The Gold Springs Mill


Located 12 miles north of a Utah highway is the town of Gold Springs.  Most of the remaining town buildings are hidden by the trees.  A little looking will reveal several structures.  Farther up the dirt road are the remains of the mill.  Although the mill contents have disappeared long ago, the building itself is impressive.  At the time of our visit, the area was being investigated by some mining contractors.  If they find profitable ore, the area will again be mined.  If mining doesn't start again, the area will continue to provide great camping sites.  Wood is available for campfires and most buildings will protect indoor campers from rain.  Unfortunately, we have been unable to locate any historical information about Gold Springs.

UPDATE: Cat (RipleysGhostTowns.com) tells us that the mill no longer stands.
