Description
The continuous Fly Geyser of Fly Ranch is on private land in Nevada and began during 1916 when a water well drilling operation accidentally penetrated a geothermal source.
Fly Geyser, also known as Fly Ranch Geyser is a small geothermal geyser that is located approximately 20 miles from Gerlach, in Washoe County, Nevada.
.....
Fly Geyser is not well known, even to Nevada residents. It is located near the edge of Fly Reservoir and is only about 5 feet high. The water well functioned normally for several decades, but in the 1960s geothermally heated water found a weak spot in the wall and began escaping to the surface. Dissolved minerals started rising and accumulating, creating the mount on which the geyser sits, which continues growing. Today water is constantly spewing, reaching 5 feet in the air. The geyser contains several terraces discharging water into 30 to 40 pools over an area of 74 acres. The geyser is made up of a series of different minerals, which gives it its magnificent coloration.
