Crystal Springs used to feature music and dancing in the 1920s, besides hot pools

                             Crystal Springs patrons played water basketball in the late 1940s.

CRYSTAL SPRINGS was first discovered in 1884, at Honeyville in Box Elder County.
It is so named for the small crystals that the spring water produced in the gravel near its source. It was originally known as “Madsen Hot Spring," but the Crystal name eventually won out.
By the 1920s, Crystal Springs had become a popular area resort.
"Norm Watkins' orchestra to open at Crystal Springs" was an April 13, 1926 headline in the Box Elder County News.
The resort had a large dance hall and a nine-piece orchestra played there on April 15 of that year.
In 1926, the resort had a large swimming pool with a cement bottom, as well as its more famous hot pools. The resort had also purchased dozens of new wool bathing suits, available for rent in the upcoming season.
New land had been recently added to the resort and it now featured its own baseball diamond.
An electric car line, from Brigham City, also offered convenient access to Crystal Springs.
In 1981, the resort had added two large waterslides to its lineup. It also had a large outdoor pool, filled with cold water, in addition to its hot pools.
Today it is a popular group destination, with a focus on its hot springs.
