Umpqua Hot Springs Trail #1444

Area Status: Temporarily Closed

Visitors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the regulations before planning their trip to the Umpqua Hot Springs. Read the regulations.

The 0.3-mile trail is a steep climb to a "tub" 3 feet by 5 feet by 2.5 feet deep that is hewn out of the travertine deposits surrounding the springs. The hot springs, trail and trailhead is Day-Use Only - open from sunrise to sunset. Expect high use and nudity at this popular site. The springs are located on a bare rock face 150 feet above the North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River. Water seeps through an active fault, resulting in temperatures of 100 to 115 degrees. From the tub, there is a view of Surprise Falls across the river. The tub is sheltered by an open-air roof structure. Although there isn't a fee to hike the trail, there is a day-use fee at the trailhead.

Toketee Lake Campground is the closest overnight campground.
