Ash Springs is a town in the Pahranagat Valley of Lincoln County, Nevada.[1] The town's principal industry is ranching. Ash Springs is named for the desert ash trees growing nearby.[2]

Hot springs

The town is home to naturally occurring hot springs.[3][4][5][6] The hot springs are located on BLM land. The water emerges from several springs at a temperature of 97°F/36°C,[5] and cools to 95°F as it flows into a large mineral water soaking pool approximately 15 feet in diameter.[4]
