Overview
Mammoth Springs are in the Dixie National Forest close to Panguitch Lake. They make a unique attraction as they have the largest discharge of spring water from any springs in Utah at 314 cubic feet per second. Above the natural springs the landscape is dry but just below the bubbling source is a full flowing stream. The crystal clear stream is lined with moss and streamside vegetation and a footbridge leads across the stream to the spring source.
