Sulphur Springs
Sulphur Springs flows at a impressive 84°F in Siskiyou County's temperate forest, reaching 29.5 degrees above the cool ambient 54.5°F characteristic of the northern Sierra Nevada foothills.
Located at 2,141 feet elevation along Elk Creek Road near Happy Camp, the spring emerges in mixed coniferous forest receiving abundant precipitation and seasonal snowfall, creating a verdant landscape typical of northern California's mountain zone.
Roadside access from Elk Creek Road allows easy visits during the brief warm season. Summer and early fall offer the best conditions before heavy winter snowfall arrives. Curly Jack Campground on the Klamath River sits 15.3 kilometers away.
These springs form where geothermal activity intersects the Klamath Mountain geologic province, with the surrounding landscape shaped by heavy winter precipitation and deep snowpacks that feed the nearby Klamath River.
