## About Jackson Hot Springs

Jackson Hot Springs is a warm spring three miles from Ashland in Jackson County, Oregon, with water at a pleasant soaking temperature and a strongly alkaline chemistry. The USGS site record shows a discharge of zero at the last reading, which raises the question of whether anything is flowing at the surface now. Owner and access status are absent from the file.

A hundred feet or so from the road, which the record leaves unnamed. Low elevation, a moderate climate with some snow, nowhere near the amounts the high country gets. Hyatt Lake Recreation Area is the camping the record pairs with it, about fifteen miles away.

The record prefers winter. Water chemistry dates from 1952, so the pH and mineral figures are antique. Zero recorded discharge means you should not assume there is a pool to get into. Nobody has recorded who owns it or if you may visit; find out first. No fee is noted. There is no land unit on record for it, nor a designation.
