So, I know a bunch of you have not heard of the Meadow springs in Meadow, UT; but I thought I'd share a bit about the area so you could consider visiting it.
Meadow has three hot springs on the porperty (really nice and well kept by the way).
The first and main pool is East of the parking lot. It is fairly large and goes down 30 feet. This pool has some lower caverns that the average hot spring soaker doesn't even know about. Another cool thing to see in this spring is a large crack that looks like it goes back quite a ways. You 'could' get into it if you were skinny and took your gear off, but I'm sure there are rocks blocking the entrance for a reason. (I've heard rumors that a diver died while getting lost back in the tunnels of that crack...may be true, may be not true!!) Anyways, main pool is about 95 degrees and 30ft deep. Definitely a 20-30 min dive if you can last. Not much longer.
Pools 2 and 3 are South of the Parking Lot. Pool 2 is shallow and cooler...not anything to dive in.
Pool 3 is the neatest looking pool of the three. It is close to the same size of Pool 1 but much cooler. Recorded temps of around 85 on the surface. This pool has about half of the pool in about 2 ft of water. The other half is a hole that goes straight down 14 ft. But if you head west once in the big hole you'll see a small cave-like thing that leads down to further depths. If you continue to follow it, it leads you to an area that I would imagine is a type of underwater river. You come to a T at the end of the little cave and the water temp is sharply decreased to about 66. It looks like it ?could? go both left and right for a small distance but it is a shallow roof and once you hit the bottom (you will) your vis goes to ZERO. So be prepared to watch your gauges for the swim back to make sure you're going the correct direction. Watch for depth to get shallower and temp to raise...you'll find your way back. (It wasn't too hard to get back out of hte cave)
Anyways, I'd suggest a trip if you're in the area or are bored on a weekend. Bring the family, mine enjoyed sitting in the hot springs while I provided bubble service! Insta-Hot Tub with Jets!!
Directions:
Take the Meadow exit 158 south of Fillmore on I-15 Southbound. 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 canÁÕ miss it. The main spring is located about 150 yards from the parking area.
