Wood Springs
Wood Springs is a warm spring on Center Street in Springville, Utah County, essentially in town. The water is in the low seventies, warm to the hand and cool for a soak. The record has no owner and no public access status, and no chemistry. There is a photograph. Whiting Campground is a handful of miles away.
Center Street passes within about ninety feet. Elevation is around forty-five hundred feet on the valley floor. Winters are snowy for the valley, close to six feet, with eighteen inches of moisture over the year. Being in a town, the setting is whatever the street looks like, and the record does not describe it.
The rated season is winter. Roadside, in town. Whiting is the nearest campground on file, about five and a half miles away. Nobody has recorded if this is public ground, so look for signs and ask before you go near it. No chemistry means no word on smell or mineral content.
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 Wood Springs.

That's about twice the US average of 65. It's higher than at 85% 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.
