Springs
This unnamed warm spring flows at 72°F near Tremonton in Box Elder County at 4,252 feet elevation, producing water 20.7°F above ambient temperatures. Located just 88 meters from the nearest road, the spring offers roadside access in agricultural valley terrain. Water chemistry data is not available in the historical record.
The spring emerges in the Cache Valley agricultural landscape where the Bear River drainage creates fertile farmland between mountain ranges. At 4,252 feet elevation, the area receives substantial precipitation by Utah standards—16.7 inches annually plus 33.7 inches of snow—supporting productive agriculture and diverse vegetation along field margins and irrigation canals. The Wellsville Mountains rise to the east, while the Malad Range defines the western horizon. Surrounding land use is predominantly agricultural with irrigated fields and livestock operations.
Historical documentation of this spring is minimal, though its location in prime agricultural land suggests it may have been incorporated into irrigation systems or utilized for livestock watering during Box Elder County's settlement in the late 1800s. Tremonton developed as a railroad town in 1903, becoming a service center for the region's agricultural economy. The spring's modest temperature likely limited special attention compared to hotter thermal features elsewhere in the county.
The spring's roadside location 88 meters from the road makes access straightforward. Visit spring through fall; winter brings cold temperatures and substantial snow. The surrounding agricultural area is predominantly private land; respect property boundaries. Box Elder Campground near Mantua Reservoir, 32.7 kilometers away, provides developed camping and access to boating and fishing. The spring's modest temperature limits bathing appeal.
