Trego Hot Springs

Trego Hot Springs is a long, warm pool and channel on the southeast edge of the Black Rock Desert playa, reached from Gerlach by paved and then dirt roads, including Jungo Road and a short spur along the railway. The soft sediment bottom acts as a natural mud bath, and vents can push some spots much hotter than the rest, so move carefully. It is on Bureau of Land Management land, free, and open to everyone, and several Nevada guides list it as clothing optional by custom.

The area is closed during the Burning Man event each summer. Etiquette: camp away from the water, carry out trash, avoid soap, stay off the playa when it is wet, and bring all water and fuel, since services are far away.
