Jackson WellSprings
A mineral springs retreat on 30 acres along Bear Creek, about 2.5 miles from downtown Ashland, with a 95-foot swimming pool, a hot tub, a sauna, a steam room and private tubs. The spring water arrives at about 103°F, and the venue says it uses no chlorine or bromine. Daytime sessions are family friendly; evening sessions are adults-only and clothing-optional.
Lithia Springs Resort
A hotel on West Jackson Road about 3 miles from downtown Ashland that pipes warm, sulfur-rich spring water to its rooms, many of which have private soaking tubs or mineral showers. The water surfaces at about 90°F and is aerated to release sulfur gas. Soaking is for overnight guests; there is also a seasonal saline pool, a Jacuzzi and a small spa.
Summer Lake Hot Springs
A 145-acre resort on Highway 31 near Paisley with a 1929 wooden bathhouse holding a 15-by-30-foot indoor pool at 97 to 99°F, and outdoor rock pools averaging 104°F. The spring emerges at 113°F along the Slide Mountain fault. Soaking is only for guests staying in the cabins, houses, RV sites or tent field, and reservations are required.
Hunter's Hot Springs Resort
A small resort just north of Lakeview beside Old Perpetual, a geyser that erupts from the hot springs here. It has one outdoor mineral pool kept at about 104°F, open to day visitors Tuesday to Sunday afternoons. Twelve rooms, RV dry sites and tent camping are on site, along with The Geyser Room restaurant and bar.
Umpqua Hot Springs
A travertine soaking tub on a bare rock face about 150 feet above the North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River, reached by a steep 0.3-mile trail. Water seeps from an active fault at 100 to 115°F, and an open-air roof shelters the tub. The Umpqua National Forest manages it as a day-use-only fee site and warns of high use and nudity.
Kosk Creek Hot Springs (Hunt and Kosk)
Rustic hot spring pools of varying temperatures on a private ranch along Kosk Creek near Big Bend in eastern Shasta County. The landowner now sells day passes and campsites through Hipcamp; earlier free access has ended. There is no potable water or trash service, so visitors pack out everything.
Surprise Valley Hot Springs
A small adults-only lodging on Highway 299 five miles east of Cedarville in remote Modoc County, where each of its 19 rooms has its own private mineral-water tub. Fifteen tubs sit on fenced outdoor patios and four are inside suites, and guests can adjust the temperature. There is no day use, no public pool and no food service on site, and all stays need a reservation with a two-night minimum.
McCredie Hot Springs
Undeveloped hot springs along Salt Creek on the Willamette National Forest, reached by a short trail from the McCredie Day Use Area on Highway 58 about 8 miles east of Oakridge. The Forest Service runs the site as day use only, sunrise to sunset, with a $5 per-vehicle fee. There is a vault toilet but no drinking water or trash service.
East Lake Hot Springs
Geothermal seeps along the southeast shore of East Lake in the Newberry Caldera, where visitors have built low rock walls to hold soaking water. There are no facilities at the springs; East Lake Campground is the nearest developed site. Visit Central Oregon says the pools are easiest to use from May to July, when the lake is lower.
Hart Mountain Hot Springs
A natural spring inside Hot Springs Campground at the eastern base of Warner Peak in Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, soaked in a stone enclosure at about 102°F. The campground is free and first come, first served, with vault toilets and no drinking water. The refuge asks visitors not to alter the springs and not to use soap.
Paulina Lake Hot Springs
Small pockets of geothermal water on the northeast shore of Paulina Lake inside the Newberry Caldera, where visitors have stacked rocks to form shallow soaking pools. The site is undeveloped and reached on foot from the Little Crater area on the Deschutes National Forest. Visit Central Oregon says access is best from May to July, when lake levels are lower.
Wall Creek Warm Springs (Meditation Pool)
A single warm pool beside Wall Creek, reached by the level Warm Springs Trail #3582 through old-growth forest north of Oakridge. The Forest Service lists the pool at about 95°F, roughly 10 by 12 feet and 3 feet deep with a silty bottom. The trailhead is currently closed under the Cedar Creek Fire closure order.
