Carson Hot Springs is continuously operating since 1849
Located at the northern edge of Carson City, Carson Hot Springs has been in continuous operation since 1849. Over the years, the resort has undergone a full remodel, but the healing properties of the Carson mineral water remain unchanged.
Today, the resort offers a large outdoor pool, two outdoor hot tubs, and ten private soaking tubs.
The natural hot spring water rises from depths of about 35,000 feet below the Earth’s surface at approximately 121°F (49°C). The pool and hot tubs are drained, cleaned, and refilled every night, and the water is not chemically treated.
Pool temperatures are maintained between 93°F and 96°F (34-36°C) in summer and between 98°F and 100°F (37-38°C) in winter.
The outdoor hot tubs are kept between 100°F and 102°F (37-39°C).
Swimsuits are required in public areas.
Private mini-spas are available in individual rooms and can be rented for a minimum of two hours. The water temperature in these tubs ranges from 95°F to 104°F, and clothing is optional in private areas.
Carson Hot Springs mineral water is also safe for internal consumption.
