## About Moss Ranch Springs

Moss Ranch Springs, plural, is a warm spring in Lake County about 26 miles out of Lakeview. The water is warm to the touch and a little below body temperature. No landowner is recorded and visitor access is unknown. There is no photo, so what you find on arrival is anyone's guess.

County Highway 3-10 is the road the record points to, and the spring sits a few hundred feet from it, a short walk by the record's reckoning. The elevation puts it in Lake County's high desert. Snowfall runs a bit under four feet over a winter, and the precipitation total is low, as it is across this part of Oregon.

On file the best months are the cold ones, December into February. The walk from the highway is short. Drake Peak Lookout, about fifteen miles away, is the camping option listed. Since ownership and access are both unrecorded, find out whose land it is before you cross it.
