Geyser Park is located downtown Soda Springs behind several of the buildings on Main Street. I have always enjoyed coming here, seeing the geyser and then eating in town when visiting. The geyser has a very interesting history. Trying to find a hot water source for their planned swimming pool, a drilling company drilled down some 300 ft in November 1937 until they reached a large chamber. Inside this chamber, carbon dioxide gas mixes with the underground water building up pressure which then makes the water shoot out of the drill hole. The geyser can reach heights of around 100 ft. A timer and cap control the geyser so it erupts every half hour, on the hour, year round.
