Crystal Hot Springs are the largest natural hot springs in the world, located just an hour and a half from Salt Lake City in the charming town of Honeyville.
The hot springs were initially established as a visitor business in 1901, named Madsen Hot Springs.
Throughout World War II, the hot springs served as a significant rehabilitation site for injured soldiers, who flocked to the site in droves to take advantage of the springs' supposed healing properties. Today, it is still maintained as a major tourist destination, home to cool and hot pools for swimming, soaking, and rejuvenation.
The year-round complex offers three jetted hot tubs for visitor use, along with a lap pool, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and two 360-foot recreational water slides.
Changing rooms are offered at the center's stone lodge, which is also home to several sand volleyball courts. A tree-lined campground provides more than 100 picturesque campsites, along with fire rings, restrooms, and a carp fishing pond.
