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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
