About Pah Tempe Hot Springs
Historic springs now closed to the public
One of Utah's most historically significant hot springs. Used by Paiute peoples for centuries. The Anderson family operated it as a healing retreat for 28 years before losing a legal battle with the Washington County Water Conservancy District in 2013. The geothermal waters are now diverted for water management.
