Hallinan Spring is a hot spring in Lake County, twenty-three miles from Lakeview, with water a touch above comfortable soaking temperature. It is close enough to hot that you would want to check it with a hand first. The record names no owner and says nothing about access. No photo is on file.

Location

It sits thirty-odd feet from a road that goes unnamed here, so the approach is a few steps and no more. No elevation is on file. Winter snow runs around four and a half feet. Outside of winter it is fairly dry. Lakeview is the nearest town of any size. Whose land it is, nobody has written down here.

Midwinter rates highest here. Camping: Drake Peak Lookout, about twenty miles. It runs hot enough that easing in slowly is the way. Access is unknown; treat the spot as possibly private until you see otherwise.
