I can’t think of a better way to relax than slipping into a warm pool surrounded by towering pines and crisp mountain air. If you’re the same, you’ll love Oregon hot springs. Whether you’re after a rustic dip deep in the forest or something more comfortable at a cozy resort, you’ll find a soak that feels tailor-made for you.

Highlights I Think You’ll Love:

  • I’ve always enjoyed the rustic wooden tubs at Bagby Hot Springs. You’ll hike in, fill your own cedar tub, and feel miles away from the everyday.
  • If sweeping views are your thing, head to Umpqua Hot Springs. I soaked on a cool morning and watched the river rush below—it’s an unforgettable scene you’ll want to photograph.
  • Whenever I need peace and quiet, I retreat to Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat & Conference Center. You’ll appreciate the tranquil pools, meditation spaces, and welcoming community vibe.
  • Up for adventure? McCredie Hot Springs offers secluded backcountry pools. I’ve found pockets of warm water along the creek that feel like a secret spa—you’ll love discovering your own perfect spot.
  • For true wide-open solitude, I drive out to Hart Mountain Hot Springs in southeastern Oregon. Soaking beside the sagebrush with only the stars for company? You’ll never forget it.
