- Walk-in OK
An Inyo County park in the Tecopa Valley with two bathhouses, each with separate enclosed pools for men and women, fed by artesian water of about 102F. Bathing is in the nude only, under a county code. A concessionaire took over under a 10-year agreement and sells $15 day soaking passes, plus more than 200 RV and tent sites.
Now run by concessionaire Flippin-Hamrick under a 10-year county agreement; the county page still shows an old closure notice heading.
