## About Radium Hot Springs

Radium Hot Springs in Baker County, Oregon, is a hot spring about twelve miles from Baker City. The water on file is hot, above comfortable soaking and short of scalding. It shares a name with the much better known Radium Hot Springs in British Columbia, and the only encyclopedia link on file is for that Canadian village, so don't confuse the two. Who owns this one, and whether you can visit, is not recorded.

Less than half a mile separates the spring from the La Grande-Baker Highway, the closest road, so it is a short walk. It sits at a little over three thousand feet. Winters here drop around six feet of snow and the year is wetter than the Oregon desert to the south, with about two feet of precipitation. No landowner or land unit is listed.

Winter months are flagged as best on file. The water is hot enough that you should test it before getting in, though it is short of the scalding range. Anthony Lake Guard Station, roughly fifteen miles away, is the camping option on record. Access status is blank, so confirm the land is open before walking in from the highway.
