The rule here
This is a thermal feature to see, not a place to get in the water. Valles Caldera National Preserve puts it this way:
“No swimming or bathing is permitted in Park waters.”

Worth knowing: The NCEI coordinate falls inside Valles Caldera National Preserve, which the National Park Service added in April 2021 to the list of park units with significant thermal features under the Geothermal Steam Act. The preserve’s superintendent’s compendium rule above applies to all park waters.
