Nearby springs
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.
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.
