Enjoy a 108-degree soak from 150 feet above the North Umpqua River.
Standard operating procedure.
Built in 2010, the bridge across the North Umpqua River facilitates much easier access to the hot springs.
Looking downstream as the North Umpqua River heads to Toketee Falls, lake and campground.
Relax in a heated perch with an excellent view of the North Umpqua River.
The uppermost pool is the warmest, and the water that spills over its lip feeds the pools below.
A string of six smaller and shallower pools have been carved out from the hillside over the years.
The water from the upper pools flows through channels to the lower pools.
The covered tub is approximately 3 feet deep and will comfortably fit several people.
A garden hose sources hot water from the spring beneath the hillside to feed the main pool.
A view downstream from the line of terraced pools.
The upper pools are warmer and cleaner while bright green algae adorn the lower soaking pools.
Explore the riverside on your return and discover plenty of backcountry camping opportunities.
