Umpqua Hot Springs

Amazing experience! I visited in July 2025 on a Wednesday. Not too many people. Parking $5 -cash. They have one restroom in the parking lot. About a 10 minute hike to the hot springs from the parking lot. The hike up was short but moderate level. Heads up! There were a few naked humans walking around.

The Road is closed 2 miles before the trailhead. Use the trail on the left, just before the bridge. The road is very icy. If you take the road I recommend YakTrax or similar traction devices.

Great natural hot springs. Trail needs some maintenance, and the bathroom needs serious help. We went when the road was closed and hiked through the snow, so maybe that is why the bathroom hasn’t been cleaned to say the least. You get all types here from fools throwing trash in the hot springs to those cleaning up. Top pool is the hottest. Gorgeous view of the river and forest while soaking.

A magical place. A short hike to the hot springs. We brought our jet boil & enjoyed our morning coffee early in the morning. We arrived around 7 am and nobody else was there until 8 am. Beautiful place with incredible views.

All the reviews are true, parking lot fits a dozen cars so expect it to be tough to park. Trail up is not long but definitely treacherous- broken ankle central. The springs themselves are hot and beautiful. Lots of people at all times so you may have to wait to get in. The slope they’re on is super slippery and steep so waiting looks like crouched on the cliff edge. Still an iconic Oregon experience everyone should check out.

It's a mixed feeling. The hot spring itself is nice, although the most high pool is the only one hot, the rest where the water trinkles down are warm and some are barely warm. There are lots of pools, about 8-9 in totals, if I recall correctly. The not so nice part is that even on a gloomy Wednesday, the place was packed with a bunch of naked people flaunting their junk around like its their bathroom. It's not the prettiest sight! Definitely not a place to bring your kids.

5-6 soaking pools made from rock. The top one is the hottest, going down they get cooler. The hike is a 10 minute, steep incline, to a graffiti hut and your there. Other people said it wasn't busy, but the parking lot was full and every pool had a person in it. Half of the people were naked, No judge. The view is amazing and worth the drive!
