Clear waters for soaking, with temperatures the are different based on the pool itself and the location within a particular pool. Requires a hike in order to be reached.

FindASpring Team Update:

As of 2025, Fifth Water, AKA Diamond Fork, Hot Springs is a multi-pool natural, undeveloped hot spring located a ways up the Diamond Fork Trail Head. Accessibility varies heavily on the weather and season, as park rangers are known to close the some roads and trail heads during harsh weather. It is a popular spring so expect a sharing experience, though if you are looking for a quieter experience it is recommended to visit during the week days. There is also camping along the trailhead available, making night soaking an option.

The source of the water sits at around 111 degrees F and cools as it travels through the pools. The pools a little further down will range from 100 to 102 degrees F.
