Fifth Water Hot Springs Is A Natural Waterpark In Utah

Hot summer weather is right around the corner, and it’s time to start making plans to visit your favorite swimming holes. Here’s a natural waterpark in Utah that you can hike to for a great summer day.

Fifth Water Hot Springs (a.k.a. Diamond Fork Hot Springs) is located near Spanish Fork, up Diamond Fork Canyon.

Take the Three Forks Trailhead to reach the hot springs.

The trail is nearly five miles out and back, and it's considered moderately difficult because of the elevation climb of 793 feet.

There's a beautiful waterfall cascading into the pools, which adds even more beauty to the natural scenery here.

Several pools extend from the waterfall down along Fifth Water Creek. Each pool is a different temperature, and they range from very hot to fairly cool.

The pools get their vibrant colors from minerals in the water, and they're perfect for soaking and relaxing.

The water level in Fifth Water Creek varies throughout the year; during spring runoff take extra precautions when the creek is full.

Make sure to pack out any trash you bring in so that this area stays nice for everyone.
