Trego Hot Springs, Natural thermal spring in Black Rock Desert, Pershing County, Nevada.
The spring stretches as a 400-foot-long trench with two primary inlets, forming a Y-shaped pool near railroad tracks in the desert landscape.
Frederick W. Lander's group hand-dug the initial trench in 1860 to cool the water, directing it toward a large tank for practical use.
The Desert Siteworks art events in 1993 at Trego, led by William Binzen, influenced the development of Burning Man festival practices.
The spring temperature varies from 90°F to 187°F at different points, requiring visitors to check water conditions before entering the pools.
The spring's muddy bottom and high mineral content create natural pools where temperatures fluctuate between different sections of the Y-shaped formation.
