Fifth Water Hot Springs, Natural hot springs in Diamond Fork Canyon, United States
Fifth Water Hot Springs features multiple pools with different temperatures, ranging from 102 to 111 degrees Fahrenheit along Fifth Water Creek.
The springs formed naturally through geological processes, creating mineral-rich pools that have drawn visitors to Utah County for generations.
Local residents and travelers gather at these natural pools throughout the year to experience outdoor recreation in Utah's mountain environment.
The trail to reach the springs spans 2.5 miles one way from Three Forks Trailhead, with an elevation gain of 700 feet.

Utah preserves thousands of years of human history alongside some of North America's most varied geological landscapes. The region contains extensive rock art panels and Ancestral Pueblo ruins, including the 13th-century stone structures at Bears Ears National Monument and the 650-plus petroglyphs carved into Newspaper Rock over two millennia. Fremont Indian State Park displays more than 1,000 artifacts from the indigenous peoples who inhabited these lands, while fossilized dinosaur tracks near Moab record the passage of Allosaurus and Diplodocus across ancient mudflats 150 million years ago. The natural environment ranges from the sculpted sandstone formations of Goblin Valley, where erosion has created mushroom-shaped rocks rising 20 feet (6 meters) from the desert floor, to the narrow passages of Kanarra Creek Canyon with its red walls and cascading waterfalls. The Wedge Overlook reveals 1,000-foot (300-meter) cliffs above the San Rafael River, while Monroe's thermal springs emerge from the ground at 110°F (43°C). Whether exploring slot canyons, examining ancient handprints on rock walls, or walking among eroded sandstone formations, visitors encounter landscapes that document both geological processes spanning millions of years and the enduring presence of human cultures in this high desert region.
