Beautiful, remote, and hard to access, Black Rock Hot Springs can feel like paradise. However, you must take proper care if you plan on soaking in these waters. Do your research and check with Friends of Black Rock, online or in Gerlach, for current Playa conditions. This ancient dry lakebed is only accessible when completely dry. If you attempt to drive across the Playa when wet YOU. WILL. GET. STUCK!
