Baranof Warm Springs, Natural hot springs in Sitka, United States.
A series of ten geothermal mineral springs emerge from gravel and quartz diorite deposits along the Baranof River in southeast Alaska.
The springs, discovered by western settlers in 1891, were previously utilized by the Tlingit people of Angoon for their medicinal properties.
The remote location within Tongass National Forest maintains the springs' role as a gathering place for both local residents and seasonal visitors.
Access to Baranof Warm Springs requires transportation by floatplane or boat, with flights from Sitka taking between 30 to 60 minutes.
Three wooden bathhouses and natural rock pools capture spring water at temperatures reaching 124°F, while overlooking a rushing waterfall.
