Umpqua Hot Springs Oregon

Umpqua Hot Springs is a cluster of natural geothermal pools on a forested hillside above the North Umpqua River in the Umpqua National Forest of southwestern Oregon, where chloride-rich volcanic water at approximately 43°C cascades through a series of tiered stone pools carved into the cliff face above one of Oregon's most beautiful wild river gorges. Set at 800 meters elevation within hiking distance of the stunning Toketee Falls — whose dramatic columnar basalt framing of the waterfall has made it one of the most photographed natural sites in Oregon — the springs attract hikers, backpackers, and hot spring enthusiasts seeking a primitive soaking experience in the ancient volcanic Cascade Range landscape. The Umpqua National Forest surroundings of old-growth Douglas fir, the wild North Umpqua River fly-fishing corridor, and the volcanic geology of the High Cascades create an authentic Oregon mountain hot spring experience of great natural beauty.
