Hiko Springs is a natural spring located near the towns of Palm Garden and Laughlin in southern Nevada, right near the Nevada, California, and Arizona border.  This is a different location from the Hiko Springs in Lincoln County, NV (which is over 200 miles to the north).  The upper location contains dozens of ancient Native American petroglyphs.  These petroglyphs are thousands of years old and are dotted throughout this area.  There’s also some historic ruins, with an old foundation and mining litter scattered throughout.

There’s not much written about this site, but it’s close to the better known Grapevine Canyon.  There’s little evidence for surface water, but there’s a lot of brush, trees, cat tails, etc., so the spring still exists, supplying water underground.
