Belknap Hot Springs is a beloved natural thermal resort on the McKenzie River in the Oregon Cascades, where chloride-rich hot spring water feeds outdoor pools in a lush rainforest setting of old-growth Douglas fir and vine maple alongside the crystalline glacial river. The resort, a favourite of Pacific Northwest outdoor enthusiasts, combines soaking in natural mineral water with hiking, fishing, and river recreation in one of Oregon's most scenic mountain valleys. The McKenzie River corridor, with its ancient lava flows, waterfalls, and pristine wilderness, is one of the Pacific Northwest's most loved and ecologically significant natural landscapes.
