Mystic Hot Springs is a
very unique and original location. I would
like to start this article by mentioning the unbelievable
people who own/work at Mystic Hot Springs. We truly felt at
home, and welcome from the minute we walked through the door.
Mike and Victoria made us feel... as if to use the cliche' "what
is theirs is mine". This was before we were turned loose on the
property to wander at our own free will.
The hot pools were spectacular. The mineral deposits from the
water have slowly over time built up beautiful rock formations, that
are creating a cascade of water to the large pools, tubs and
ponds. The water at the source is a whooping 168
degree's, so needless to mention it must travel through quite an
extensive cooling down process. The trails to the source are
open for visitors to view, but do not attempt to touch the water at
the source for obvious reasons.
Mystic Hot Springs offers two large pools, and five singular bathtubs
for soaking. The original pool is quit large, and set up for your
basic sit and soak in a social setting. The second pool is deep
enough to stand in and cover your shoulders. The five singular
bathtubs are set up in two different groups, three in one group, and two
in the other. The tubs are your basic standard size tub,
comfortable enough for one soaker. The group of two tubs is
closest to the water source, which of course would be perfect for those
who like it hot. These two tubs site on a hill and offer a
beautiful view of the fish ponds below, and the quite little valley of
Monroe Utah. The group of three tubs are just down the hill from
the first two tubs, so they still offer a beautiful view, and are on the
warmer side.
Speaking of the fish ponds, there are six large ponds with tropical fish
who are thriving in Utah's diverse climate due to the run off from the
springs that heats the ponds to a comfortable 75 degrees year round.
They feed the fish daily at 4:00 PM. The kids and adults are
welcome to join in, and its the best time to view the fish. If you
are interested in spending a few days at Mystic Hot Springs, you could
spend it in their 32 site RV park with full hook ups and hot showers and
clean bathrooms, or bring your tent. There are several lawns for tent
camping in a park-like setting. All sites are close to clean rest
rooms and hot showers. If you prefer quite and primitive setting,
Mystic Hot Springs has over 100 acres of land that is suitable for
backpack camping. Just ask Mike or Victoria where the best sites
are and what's available.
Cabins rentals are also available, these
rustic cabins have been collected from all over the state by Mike.
Some of these cabins date back to the late 1800's. These
cabins have been refurbished and made available to you. The
cabins have been placed throughout the Mystic Hot Springs property,
giving each location its own unique setting.
Mystic Hot Springs
offers guests numerous activities on its 175 acre
resort. Several hiking and mountain biking
trails are available on the property and in the Fish
Lake National Forest that adjoins the resort.
Mystic Hot Springs also offers ping pong, live
music, horse shoes, volley ball and more.
