Patio Springs
Patio Springs is a barely warm spring in Weber County, right at the edge of Wolf Creek. The water temperature on file is below what most would call warm to sit in, more like a cool pool. USGS tracks it as a thermal site and sampled it in 1985. The record carries no owner and no access rule.
You could nearly touch it from the road; the recorded distance is a few dozen feet, though the road is unnamed on file. Elevation is a bit over five thousand feet in country that gets a serious winter, eight feet of snow in an ordinary year, and a wet climate overall. No land unit or designation appears.
Winter tops the list, and given the snow here the short distance from the road is what keeps it reachable. Port Ramp Marina is the nearest camping logged, about four miles away. The water is well under soaking temperature. Ownership is unrecorded, so confirm before stepping off the road.
Aircraft with laser scanners measured this ground to within inches. The scan strips out trees and buildings, leaving the bare shape of the land around Patio Springs.

That's about twice the US average of 65. It's higher than at 87% 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.
