The rule here

This is a thermal feature to see, not a place to get in the water. The Caliente Field Office, Ely District puts it this way:

“The Ash Springs Recreation Site located in Lincoln County, Nevada, has been closed for public safety purposes and resource protection for federally listed endangered species and BLM sensitive species.”

Caliente Field Office, Ely District, checked 2026-08-19

Worth knowing: The closed area is defined by the existing fence surrounding the recreation site, about 100 miles north of Las Vegas on U.S. Highway 93.
