## About Bully Creek Spring

Bully Creek Spring comes up at roughly body temperature beside Bully Creek Road in Malheur County, Oregon, about eleven miles from Vale. It is a USGS thermal point with soaking-warm water. Nobody has recorded a landowner, and public access is unknown as well. For a spring this close to a town, that gap matters more than usual.

Essentially at the roadside, a few steps from the car. Low desert, ten inches of rain a year, almost no snow. The record gives no campground, no land unit, and no designation, which leaves the surroundings as a blank apart from the road itself.

Any month would work for getting here by the climate, and the file points to winter. Warm enough for a soak if a pool exists, and the record is silent on that. Ownership and access are blank, so check before using it. Temperature is a USGS figure of unknown date, and no water chemistry was ever filed for this site.
