An extremely hot (140F) source of water just below the surface in the low desert of western Arizona. Radium Hot Spring was at one time a resort providing hot mineral and steam baths for locals and travelers in the area. The hot water lies immediately below the surface, and, during wet years, will occasionally reach the surface. The water occasionally flows out into an irrigation ditch next to the old resort. The resort itself utilized a shallow well to obtain the hot water, pumping it into several small rooms in the wooden bathhouse. There are no soaking pools at present.
