A 9-acre, 60-foot-deep geothermal spring-fed pond in the desert about 16 miles south of Wendover on BLM-managed wetlands within the Utah Test and Training Range. Bottom water holds near 85 F year-round, making it Utah's main winter training site, with two submerged platforms and diver-placed metal sculptures (hammerhead, turtle, rhino, praying mantis), boats and other objects to explore. A boardwalk crosses the marsh from the parking area to the water; summer algae blooms can cut visibility to a few feet.
