Burnt Spring is a 3-mile out-and-back hike in Utah's Fishlake National Forest, within the Beaver Ranger District. The route rises about 650 feet from a low point of 7,641 feet to a high of 8,312 feet, and it is rated moderate. The trail is on natural surface and is open to both horses and bikes. The Forest Service manages the land, and the open season runs from May 1 to October 31. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Beaver Canyon run from highs around 75°F in June to about 80°F in July, and the station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the trail's high point, so temperatures on the ridge run cooler. Big Twist - Anderson Meadow is less than a mile away, and Senseball Creek is about 1.1 miles off. For an overnight base, Anderson Meadow - Rec Site and Kents Lake Campground are both within about 4 miles.
