Jackson Valley Mud Springs
Mud is in the name. Jackson Valley Mud Springs, about five miles from Laytonville in Mendocino County, is a warm spring that has been photographed for the record, and that is most of what the record holds. Temperature is tepid, lower than a bath. Owner and access fields are empty, and the name is the only clue to what the water looks like.
The spring is right off the road, under two hundred feet from it, though the record does not give the road a name. Elevation is not recorded. Rain is heavy through the year and snow is rare, which points to a wet, mild climate. No campground appears in the record for this one.
December through February rate highest for timing, and with almost no snow, winter is workable. The water is too cool to burn, and cool enough that a summer visit makes more sense for a dip. Ownership is unknown; look for posting before you leave the road.
