Willett Hot Springs, Natural hot spring in Sespe Wilderness, Ventura County, US
The mineral waters of Willett Hot Springs flow into a constructed collection basin situated along the Sespe River Trail in Los Padres National Forest.
The United States Forest Service incorporated Willett Hot Springs into the Los Padres National Forest management system to preserve natural thermal resources.
Local outdoor enthusiasts combine backpacking traditions with thermal soaking at Willett Hot Springs, following an 11-mile trek through California wilderness.
Visitors need a National Forest Adventure Pass to park at Piedra Blanca trailhead and should prepare for a 20-mile round trip hike to reach the springs.
The springs maintain a constant temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year, creating a natural thermal pool in the remote Sespe Wilderness.
