Piute Springs

Piute Springs
6.1 miles west of US 95 on the unmarked Mojave Road (turn at mile marker 75), then 3 miles west on an extremely rough unmarked dirt road.

A narrow ribbon of willows, cottonwoods, and rushes thrive along a half-mile section of Piute Creek.

The ruins of Fort Piute, one of a string of military outposts built along the Mojave Road, is located at this spring. Please respect these ruins; don't climb on the foundations or remove anything from the area.
