Dessert Springs, Little Jamaica, Littlefield Springs

Dessert Springs (aka Little Jamaica or Littlefield Springs)

012

 

Description: Dessert Spring also known as “Little Jamaica” and Littlefield Springs is a unique and beautiful swimming hole with waterfalls in Littlefield Arizona just outside of Beaver Dam also near Mesquite Nevada. The water for the waterfalls does not come from the Virgin river but it comes out of a spring from the mountain.

At one point drug and alcohol use were common at this location and it was destroyed. Believed by many to no longer be there, Dessert Springs has been rebuilt with clean, clear sparkling water.

 

 

Location: 717 Farm Rd, Littlefield, AZ 86432

GPS: 36.893636,-113.918242

Tips: When you first hike down to the waterfalls it looks like there is no way down but just walk in the water and hike down the water fall itself.  Remember to pick up everything you brought.

If you are coming from St. George take the desert spring exit just right after the gorge. Turn right and back track towards the gorge and there is a small tunnel big enough for 1 car to fit through. Go through the tunnel and head turn right and drive all the way to the end of the street. This will take you to the parking spot for dessert springs. If you are coming from Mesquite just take the dessert springs exit and turn right and back track towards the bridge until the end of the road.

Price: Free


You will have to pass through a little tunnel coming from St. George
