Tuscan Springs
Tuscan Springs flows at 86°F in Tehama County near Red Bluff, with borax-impregnated waters chemically similar to the famous springs of Tuscany, Italy, creating a unique geochemical signature.
Emerging at 887 feet elevation in the northern Sacramento Valley foothills where Sierra Nevada volcanic formations create scattered geothermal features, the spring lies 356 meters from Tuscan Springs Road through oak woodland and grassland landscape.
Named for the chemical resemblance of its waters to Tuscan springs across the Pacific, Tuscan Springs reflects Northern California's volcanic heritage where ancient magmatic activity created favorable geothermal conditions in the foothills region.
Access requires a short walk from Tuscan Springs Road. Camp Discovery Group Camp (11.9 km away) near Red Bluff offers screened cabins, showers, and tent camping under conifer forest with picnic and preparation facilities.
