## About Kahneeta Hot Springs

Kahneeta Hot Springs is on the Warm Springs Reservation in Jefferson County, eight or so miles from the town of Warm Springs. The ground is tribal land, and no one has recorded a public access status. The water is hot, past comfortable soaking for most people. USGS tracks a site here. No photo has made it onto the record.

Agency Hot Springs Road passes within about twenty feet, so it is roadside. Elevation is low, under fifteen hundred feet, and most winters deliver something like two feet of snow, with moderate rain. The reservation is the land unit, and the designation is tribal land. The land owner appears on the record as DESG.

Winter gets the nod on the record. Trout Creek Campground is about six miles away. Ease in carefully; the temperature is past most people's comfort. Because this is tribal land with access unknown, check with the reservation before visiting.
