Camp, Hike, and Hot Springs
Arizona Hot Springs is located within a 3.25 mile hike along desert canyons inside of Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
At the trail head, there are two hikes available; the Liberty Bell Arch trail brances off, and does not go to the hot spring. Follow the White Rock Canyon trail to find the spring.
This hike makes for a nice overnight outing, as there are nice places to camp at the river and in the canyon just above the hot springs. Courtesy of birdandhike.com
Safety: The trail and subsequent springs are CLOSED during summer, June-September, due to extreme temperature conditions--however, during the rest of the year, weather permitting, it is a great hike.The hike is rated as "strenuous," and it is advised that you should travel with a companion. Once at the hot springs, take care not to put your head underwater, as this could put you at risk for a rare ameobic infection, although there are signs on site that will remind you.

Be careful. Pay attention to posted signs and always test the waters before you get in. Some hot springs can get up to boiling temperatures. Be sure to drink plenty of water to combat the dehydrating effect of the spring.
Be respectful of other soakers and the hot spring. Don't hog the pool. Camp at least 200 yards away and keep fires in designated areas. Keep your pets out of the water and never pee in thermal feature. Glass bottles should never go near a hot spring.
