Overview

North of Dyer, Nevada, and west of Topona Nevada, in the BLM Battle Mountain District, is a remote, but not-so-hidden desert oasis and hot spring known as the Fish Lake Valley Hot Well. This easy desert route travels a small section of Emigrant Pass and Hot Ditch Road which brings you to this small section of paradise in the Nevada desert. Colorful mountain backdrops, smooth rolling hills and plenty of side trails to explore along this route to the hot spring will keep overlanders entertained along the way. While a soak in the hot, concrete pool is probably your main reason for traveling this route, the surrounding area offers plenty of opportunity for additional off-road adventure. This route is great for anyone from a first time off-roader just looking to get to the Hot Well, to experienced overlanders looking to explore the entire area and beyond.
