The pool as of the last visit features a wood frame that supports a
couple large tarps that trap the hot water a few yards downstream of
the source. |

Seasonal Notes
Accessible year-round, however the pool is typically under water
until late fall. Judging from the condition of the pool and the dirt
road that starts in the parking lot and leads down into the dry
reservoir I am starting to doubt that the reservoir is currently
being filled. |
Camping Notes
Camp in the parking lot or in the
reservoir during low-water conditions. |

Well, I finally made it out here! I must admit I wasn't sure what to
expect before arriving. My research revealed that this particular
hot springs sometimes has a pool, which tends to change form from
season to season if there's one around at all. The wood framed, tarp
walled and bottomed pool was actually pretty decent. There was a
fair amount of goobers lining the bottom and floating in the water,
but a bucket can quickly remedy that situation. The water
temperature was perfect for hot soaking and the view from the pool
was very nice. It also looked like the pool has been around for
awhile. Rumor has it that there is another hot springs further down
in the reservoir that may or may not provide a soaking opportunity.
