Neal Hot Springs
Neal Hot Springs sits in Malheur County about eleven miles from Vale, and the water comes out near boiling, scalding by any measure. It is a USGS thermal site. The record does not say who owns the land or whether the public can visit, and there is no mention of a developed pool.
Bully Creek Road passes within ten feet of the spring, so this is as roadside as it gets. The elevation is low desert, around twenty-five hundred feet. Snow is scant, a bit over a foot in an average winter, and annual precipitation is about ten inches. Land ownership is blank in the record, as is the land unit.
The coldest months are the ones listed as best. Water this hot will burn on contact, so stay clear of the source and anything it feeds. No campground is on record nearby. Access is unknown, so find out whether the spring is on private ground before pulling over.
