## About Springs

Recorded only as Springs, this is a point in Malheur County about nineteen miles from Vale, near a road called Swimming Pool Road. No temperature reading is on file, and the record qualifies the water as warm without a number. Ownership and access are unrecorded. The encyclopedia link attached describes Breitenbush Hot Springs, a different place entirely, so it is no help here.

The spring sits a few hundred feet off Swimming Pool Road, the closest road to it. The elevation is around twenty-six hundred feet in the low desert. Winter snow is slight, just over a foot, and precipitation is under ten inches a year.

No best months are on file. No campground is listed. With the temperature blank, nobody can say from this page whether the water is soakable. The road name is suggestive, and the record says nothing more. Confirm ownership before walking in.
