Breitenbush Hot Springs, Mineral hot springs in Willamette National Forest, Oregon, United States.
Multiple thermal pools emerge at 180°C and cool to temperatures between 92°C and 65°C, containing minerals such as calcium, lithium, and magnesium.
John Minto named the springs in 1874 after Lewis Breitenbucher, a local hunter, leading to the establishment of first commercial facilities in early 1900s.
The Kalapuya, Wasco, and Molalla tribes used these thermal springs for medicinal and spiritual ceremonies before European settlers arrived in the 1840s.
The retreat center at 53000 Breitenbush Road requires advance reservations and offers day passes, personal retreats, and workshop programs from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
The worker-owned cooperative manages a hydroelectric plant and maintains 20 miles of surrounding hiking trails in the Oregon wilderness.
