Nearby springs
Bagby Hot Springs
Rustic bathhouses with hand-filled cedar log tubs in the Mt. Hood National Forest, reached by a 1.4-mile trail through old growth along the Hot Springs Fork of the Collawash River. Bagby Preservation runs the site under a Forest Service permit and charges $5 per person. Tubs are first come, first served, and weekend waits can be long.
Bigelow (Deer Creek) Hot Springs
A single warm pool beside the McKenzie River just off Hwy 126 near Belknap, partly sheltered by a rock overhang. It is free, and it disappears under the river when flows are high, so late summer is the most reliable time. There are no facilities.
Kah-Nee-Ta Hot Springs Resort
A tribally owned resort on the Warm Springs Reservation that reopened in 2024 after a $13 million renovation. Mineral pools run about 92-104F, with kids' pools, a lazy river and a 37F cold plunge, plus hotel rooms, a teepee village and RV sites. Pools are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays through March 2027.
