## About Buckhorn Creek Springs

Buckhorn Creek Springs is a USGS-listed thermal point in Lake County, Oregon, a long way from anywhere, nearly sixty miles from Lakeview. The water is barely warm, below body temperature, so nobody is soaking here. It exists in the record as a measured warm spring with a site number. Land owner and access are both unrecorded, and there is no second name from any other source.

Reckon on about a third of a mile from the closest road, one the record leaves unnamed. High desert, dry, with light snow. The closest camping on file is the Fremont Point Cabin, about ten miles away, and that is the only campground the record associates with it.

The file lists winter as the best time, and with light snowfall that is plausible for getting in. The water will not warm you. No access status is recorded and no owner, so treat it as unverified ground until you learn otherwise. The temperature comes from a USGS survey with no date attached and may not match what is there today. Nothing is recorded about a pool or any structure.
