Green Fly Geyser (Nevada)
Fly Geyser, also known as Fly Ranch Geyser is a small
geothermal geyser that is located approximately 20 miles (32 km) north of
Gerlach in Washoe County , Nevada
Fly Geyser is located on the private Fly Ranch and is accessible only by a
small private dirt road. The ranch is currently owned by Todd Jaksick.
Fly Geyser is a little-known tourist attraction, even to Nevada
residents. It is located near the edge of Fly Reservoir and is only about 5
feet (1.5 m) high, (12 feet (3.7 m) counting the mound on which it sits). The
Geyser is not an entirely natural phenomenon, and was accidentally created in
1916 during well drilling. The 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 (1.5 m) in the air.
The geyser contains several terraces discharging water into 30 to 40 pools over
an area of 30 hectares (74 acres). The geyser is made up of a series of
different minerals, which gives it its magnificent coloration.
