warm spring

Heated natural pool

A warm spring is a natural groundwater source where water emerges at temperatures notably above the surrounding air or soil temperature, but cooler than a hot spring.

The distinction between warm and hot springs varies by convention, with warm springs typically ranging from about 68°F to 98°F (20°C to 37°C).

These geological features occur where groundwater is heated by geothermal activity before rising to the surface.

We soaked in a warm spring after the hike.
