Kah-Nee-Ta, Hot spring resort in central Oregon, United States.
Kah-Nee-Ta is a hot spring resort in central Oregon situated along the Warm Springs River in Jefferson County. The property features seven soaking pools, wellness facilities, and several types of guest accommodations spread across the grounds.
The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs purchased the property in 1961 and developed the natural springs into a modern resort destination. This endeavor became a significant economic project that shaped the tribe's growth and prosperity for decades.
The name originates from the local tribal language and refers to the natural hot springs that emerge from the ground in this area. The buildings blend traditional tribal design elements with contemporary facilities, creating a space that reflects both the heritage and present-day life of this community.
The resort provides several lodging options including hotel rooms, traditional teepees, and an RV park with full connections. Since the location sits in a remote area, advance booking is advisable, especially during warmer months when visitors arrive in greater numbers.
The natural mineral springs maintain a consistent temperature of about 33 degrees Celsius and feed multiple swimming and soaking pools throughout the facility. This steady warmth allows visitors to swim and soak year-round, regardless of the season outside.
