Eden Hot Springs
Eden Hot Springs flows at 109°F from northwestern Riverside County near Lakeview, emerging approximately 44°F warmer than the region's ambient annual temperature on easily accessible roadside terrain.
The spring surfaces at 1,640 feet elevation with minimal walking required, positioned immediately beside the road in a landscape of desert scrub and rolling hills. The thermal water rises from the ground in this exposed setting, distinguishing it from many California springs hidden in remote canyons or wilderness areas.
Roadside location makes this spring exceptionally accessible, requiring no more than a few steps from vehicle parking. The spring sits at 1,640 feet elevation in San Bernardino National Forest territory. Access remains open year-round, though summer heat can be intense. Water temperature of 109°F allows soaking without extreme caution.
Eden Hot Springs shares multiple historical identities, also known as Indian Hot Springs and Holladay Hot Springs—names reflecting various periods of human occupation and use. The spring formed through geothermal circulation in the southern Transverse Ranges, a tectonically dynamic region where multiple fault systems create conditions for thermal springs.
