Located at Ikogosi in Ekiti State, the spring flows warm water from a rock. Flowing abreast the warm spring is another cold spring which meets the warm spring at a confluence, each maintaining its thermal properties. A wooden foot bridge leads to the source of the cold and warm spring water, and research suggests that the warm spring has a temperature of about 70C at the source and 37C at the confluence.
