GET TO KNOW THE PLACE

A little more about Umpqua Hot Springs.

The Umpqua Hot Springs are a group of geothermal springs located along the North Umpqua River in the U.S. state of Oregon at 2,640 feet (800 m) elevation. The hot mineral water emerges from several sources to form a series of cascading pools. Eight pools are available for soaking, the larger having a solid rock bottom and the smaller pools have coarse sand bottoms. The larger is five by eight feet and 110 °F (43 °C), and is covered by a wooden enclosure.

Forest roads and the trail can be affected by snow, storms and closures. Check the Forest Service before heading out. Pool temperatures vary.

Official sources reviewed 2026-10-18 · Editorial recommendations

A day-use natural spring visit that needs a road and weather check, especially in winter.

A good fit for

  • Independent visitors prepared for a natural-site approach

Consider another option for

  • Travellers expecting resort facilities
  • Visitors planning overnight use at the trailhead

Visit between sunrise and sunset

The Forest Service limits the trailhead and surrounding area to day use, sunrise to sunset. Toketee Lake is identified as the nearest overnight campground.

Prepare for winter road closure

The access road normally closes in winter, adding about 2.5 miles to travel on foot, skis or snowshoes. Conditions farther along can be icy even if the gate area is clear. Check current alerts and navigation requirements.

Bring your own drinking water

The published day-use fee is USD 5 per vehicle; eligible displayed passes waive it. Vault toilets are listed, but potable water is unavailable. Check current cashless-payment instructions and pack out rubbish.

What we still need to confirm

These gaps are worth checking if they affect your trip.

  • Current road and trail closures
