Goshen Warm Springs lies within the Goshen Warm Springs State Wildlife Area in Utah County, four miles from Genola. The water is tepid. Public access is marked restricted, which on a wildlife area usually means rules to follow, though the record does not spell them out. There is a photo.

Location

State Street is the nearest road, and the spring is a short walk of a few hundred feet from it. Valley elevation. The land is state-run conservation ground. Snow comes to around four feet over a winter, and precipitation is moderate.

Winter is the listed season. Tinney Flat is about eight miles off for camping. Restricted access is the main thing to sort out; contact the wildlife area before you plan on getting near the water. No chemistry is on file and no sample date, so the temperature stands alone.

Terrain

USGS hasn't flown a detailed laser scan here yet, so this view comes from aerial photos and older elevation data.

Heat Below
107 milliwatts per square meter of heat flow

That's about 1½ times the US average of 65. It's higher than at 57% of the springs on this site.

Heat flow measures the warmth working its way up through the ground from deep inside the earth. Where it runs high, rain and snowmelt that seep down through cracks in the rock come back up hot.
