Quick FactsOverview
Overview
Mountain Point Lake and Hot Springs is a private, member-access recreation property in Bluffdale, on the south end of the Salt Lake Valley. The site centers on a small lake with a dock area and a separate mineral hot spring soaking pool. Access is not drop-in. The owner describes entry as by invitation or scheduled member event, so you should plan on booking a time slot or attending an organized gathering rather than arriving unannounced.
Because it is run as a private venue, the experience is closer to a reserved retreat than a public hot spring. Groups use the space for swimming, paddleboarding, and short soaks, and the atmosphere depends on who has booked the property that day. Amenities, staffing, and rules can change with event type, so rely on the current instructions you receive when you book. If you are looking for a predictable public pool with posted hours and pricing, choose a public hot spring facility instead.
For most visitors, the practical appeal is simple access near I-15 and the ability to control crowding by booking. Bring what you need for comfort, and treat the location with respect so access remains possible.
Location & Access
Location and access
The property is in Bluffdale, Utah, near the Point of the Mountain area at the south end of the metro region. Use the coordinates on this page to navigate to 14551 S 790 W, Bluffdale, UT 84065. Roads to the area are paved, and most visitors arrive by standard passenger vehicle. Parking is on site, but where you park and how you enter can depend on the event plan, so follow the directions provided by the host at booking.
Since access is controlled, contact the venue before you drive. Confirm your scheduled time, the gate or check-in process, and any rules about outside food, alcohol, pets, or group size. Cell service is usually available in the valley, but do not rely on it for last minute coordination. Save your confirmation details and the site contact number before you arrive.
Once inside, expect short walks on a mix of packed dirt, gravel, and hard surfaces around the dock and pool areas. Conditions can change with weather. After rain or snowmelt, ground near the lake edge can be muddy and slick. In winter, shaded wet spots can freeze. Wear shoes that handle wet surfaces, and use a dry bag for keys and phones. If you are bringing large gear like paddleboards, plan for a short carry from parking to the water.
Suitability & Accessibility
Suitability and accessibility
Mountain Point Lake and Hot Springs is best for small groups who want a reserved, controlled setting close to Salt Lake City. It can work for families if the booking allows children, but you should confirm age expectations and supervision rules with the venue because the site includes open water, a dock, and a soaking pool. If you prefer a quiet soak without swimming activity, request a time that matches that goal and keep your group plan simple.
Accessibility is variable. The location is drive-up and parking is close, but surfaces around the lake can be uneven and may include gravel, dirt, and steps depending on the path you take. Do not assume wheelchair accessibility to the dock or the hot spring pool entry. If you need step-free paths, accessible restrooms, or assistance transferring into the pool, ask the venue directly before booking and be clear about what you require. The most reliable plan is to treat this as not wheelchair accessible unless you have a written confirmation of specific accommodations for your visit.
Bring a swimsuit, towel, sandals or water shoes, and a warm layer for after you get out of the water. If you plan to be on the lake, bring personal flotation gear and keep it within reach. A small first aid kit, drinking water, and a trash bag are also practical since services and supplies depend on the event setup.
Safety & Etiquette
Safety and etiquette
Follow the hosts instructions and any posted rules for your event. Even though access is private, the main risks are the same as at any lake and pool setting: slips on wet surfaces, cold exposure after swimming, and unsafe behavior on the dock. Move carefully on wet concrete and gravel, keep footwear on until you enter the water, and use handholds when stepping into the pool. If you are swimming or using paddleboards, treat it as open-water recreation and keep constant supervision for children and weaker swimmers.
Hot spring water can feel relaxing, but it can still be hard on the body if you stay in too long. Keep soak sessions short at first, take breaks, and hydrate. If you are pregnant, have heart or blood pressure concerns, or are sensitive to heat, take conservative dips and consider medical guidance before soaking. Do not submerge your head, and avoid soaking with open cuts. Because this is not a public health-monitored pool, do not assume water is treated like a municipal facility.
Etiquette is mostly about leaving the venue in good condition for the next booking. Keep noise at a reasonable level, do not play amplified music unless it is allowed, and keep gear from blocking walkways. Avoid soaps, shampoos, and oils in the soaking pool and lake. Pack out all trash, including small items like bottle caps and food scraps. If you bring glass, check rules first and keep it away from the water areas. Be careful with fire and grilling if permitted, and follow any local restrictions shared by the host. If wildlife is present, do not feed animals and keep food secured.
If anything looks unsafe, such as damaged dock boards, loose ladders, or unstable steps, stop and contact the host rather than trying to fix it yourself.
