About Soda Springs
Soda Springs gets its name from the naturally carbonated water. The
resulting increased pressure contributes to the number of springs
and was the cause of the geyser.
Soda Springs is also the home of the
world’s largest man-made geyser. The geyser was created in 1937 when
engineers were attempting to find a hot water source for a swimming
pool. On November 30, 1937, the drill went down 315 feet and
unleashed the geyser. The extreme pressure. caused by carbon dioxide
gas mixing with water in an underground chamber, caused water to
shoot 100 feet into the sky. It is now capped and controlled by a
timer and erupts every hour on the hour. It is the only captive
geyser in the world.
