Review:
Located around 60 miles outside of Portland via Highway 224, Austin Hot Springs is a fully natural hot springs location. The weather is heated up by volcanic activity and the surrounding Mt Hood National Forest provides nice protection from the wind and elements. There are various rock pools to enjoy at this location on the beautiful Clackamas River, and the water can get exceedingly hot at certain times of year depending on geothermal activity, so it's always wise to dip a thermometer and test the temperature before climbing in. Spring tends to feature the highest temperatures at Austin Hot Springs, so it’s wise to stay away in the early months of the year, but summer and fall are perfect for long, relaxing soaks in these wonderful waters.
