Description
Added by Eric Bennett
The Saratoga Hot Springs, located just off the northwest side of Utah Lake is a perfectly heated hot springs. The hot springs have easy parking and are open all year round.
Awesome all year round, but one of the best places to chill out during winter. The water is just hot enough to feel amazing and escape from the cold. This place is public and not supervised. It does close from 10pm-6am and police have been known to pass by and enforce it.
Pulling in to the parking lot, just take the first pathway which goes out past the bathrooms. Follow it for about 10 minutes and you will see the pool on the left. It's really easy to access and the hike is a quick walk. This is an awesome place to take a date or to recover after a long day of hiking. You can hang out here for hours; the water is less smelly than most hot springs and it doesn't get too crowded. Weekends do tend to get more crowded than weekdays.
You can get some awesome views of the sunset as well. If you go in the winter, make sure you take a backpack to keep all your stuff in. It's also a good to have a tarp to lay your stuff on because it can get very muddy around hot springs.

Saratoga Hot Springs Reviews
Directions can be a little confusing with the GPS so here it is step by step. Take the American Fork Main St/ Pioneer crossing exit off the I-15 and head West for about 10 minutes until you get to Redwood Rd. Turn left and after you go through 2 stop lights, you will see a road on the Left, 400S. Turn here and go down until it dead ends at Saratoga Rd. Make a left and then your first right will be the parking lot for the hot springs.
