Hike and Hot Springs
The Saratoga Hot Springs are a wonderful place to visit in every season. The water is always around 100 degrees Fahrenheit, perfect for soaking away the winter cold. This is a wonderful place to spend hours with friends and family enjoying the beautiful trees, ponds and sunsets.
There are three separate pools at the Saratoga Hot Springs, all of which are heated from sources in their muddy bottoms. The largest is the most popular of the three, with the least muddy water. The area around the hot springs is wet and muddy most of the year. The state provides a bench and towel rack, but just in case you need more space it is smart to bring a tarp to keep your things on.
If you desire a break from these welcoming, warm waters, Utah Lake is a short hike away on clearly marked and well kept trails. Once there, you can enjoy a few relaxing moments watching the birds and other wildlife.
The Saratoga (or Inlet) Hot Springs are easily accessible via the short, cement trail located at Inlet Park, where parking and restrooms are provided.
The natural warmth and beautiful sights the hot springs provide will make your visit an event to remember.

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.
