Deer Creek Hot Springs, Natural hot spring in McKenzie River Valley, Oregon.
The natural pool formed by sand and gravel sits along the northern bank of McKenzie River among dense forest vegetation.
Indigenous communities of Oregon first discovered and utilized these mineral-rich waters for their healing properties before European settlement.
The springs represent a meeting point where visitors engage in clothing-optional bathing while following established etiquette guidelines.
Located 60 miles from Eugene, the springs maintain temperatures between 102-104 degrees Fahrenheit during summer and fall months.
The small pool accommodates up to four people simultaneously, creating an intimate connection with the McKenzie River's flowing waters.
