Meadow
Hot Spring
By Utah Outdoor Activities |
|
Located just 4 miles
south of Fillmore, Utah is the quiet little town of
Meadow. Since most of us have traveled south on I-15
and stopped to fill up at least once in Fillmore, it
was amazing to find this natural treasure
unoccupied. Meadow Hot Spring is located just west
of the town of Meadow, in an open field. The spring
is located on private property, but the land owner
has continued to make it accessible to the public.
The property has been improved with fences and a
nicely graded walking path that connects three
different pools. The property owners have posted
several signs at the main gate so please respect
their wishes and obey the posted rules, this will
ensure that this beautiful natural resource will
remain open to the public.

The first pool is crystal clear with a temperature of about 100 degrees.
This pool is also very deep with limited edges to sit and soak. An adult
can stand about chest deep around most of the perimeter, and someone has
strung a rope with a large PVC pipe on it across the center which
provides a cozy spot to sit. This pool remains crystal clear due to the
fact that the water runs off at a fairly quick rate, and down a small
stream. The stream also shows signs of improvement with a pea gravel
base and large solid rocks running the edge to create a shallow wadding
stream for the kids to play in safety.

From the parking area you will see two
gravel trails, one heading south and the other heading west. The
trail that heads directly south takes you to the pool described
above. The trail heading west takes you to two other pools. These
two pools are not as warm as the first one, so they may be more to
your liking on a hot summer afternoon, then in the dead of winter.
On the western trail the first pool you will come across is clear
like the main pool, however not as deep. This pool has a wooden dock
constructed along one edge that hangs over the deeper end of the
pool. It appears that this dock was intended to be used for jumping
into the pool, however be cautious the pool does not appear very
deep. To get to the third pool continue to head south on the western
trail. On our visit this pool was very murky with film on top,
however you could tell that it was very deep with no edges for
sitting. |

If your interested in a
nice soak I recommend the first pool. The water
temperature was bath tub warm, crystal clear, and
the area was clean, well that was after I filled a
small garbage bag full of beer cans. This brings me
to my next point, please clean up after yourselves
and others who trash this area. Remember the land
owner is keeping this open to the Public but he
could close it at anytime. |

Directions:
Take the Meadow exit 158 south of Fillmore on I-15. Turn left at the
stop sign and go under the freeway. You will pass a Chevron station
on the right and be heading south. Keep going south out of the town
of Meadow (about 1.5 miles) until you pass the last buildings on the
left. Shortly after passing the buildings on the left you will see a
well
graded dirt road on the right. This road will take you back over
I-15. On this road you will see several roads heading off in
different directions, just stay on this road heading west until you
get to the parking area, you can‘t miss it. The spring is located
about 150 yards from the parking area.
