Jackson Wellsprings, in Ashland, Oregon, taps iron-rich water at 38°C in an open-air pool. The site is valued for its wild-bathing atmosphere, in the southern part of the state.
Insider tip — Jackson Wellsprings is a historic mineral spring retreat on the outskirts of Ashland, within easy reach of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The geothermal pool is fed by a warm mineral spring and surrounded by a campground and community gathering space. The water has a mild sulfurous mineral character typical of southern Oregon springs. It serves as a local gathering spot as much as a wellness destination.
