Firehole Spring, located on the Firehole Lake Drive in the Lower Geyser Basin, is in almost continuous eruption. It is known as a “perpetual spouter” among geyser watchers. Firehole Spring is named not for the nearby Firehole River or Firehole Lake, but for the flaming color of bubbles as they emerge from the submerged vent and head for the surface of the spring. It is easily reached by car, literally a few steps from the roadside.
