Antelope Hot Springs

Antelope Hot Springs are two distinct thermal pools located within Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge in Oregon. One features developed stone structures, while the other remains in a natural state with unlined edges and warmer water temperatures.

Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge was established in 1936 to protect the remaining pronghorn antelope populations across North America. The thermal springs became part of this protected landscape, preserving the natural resources of the region for generations.

This location draws outdoor enthusiasts who gather to soak while observing wildlife in the surrounding landscape. The springs have become a social gathering point where people experience the geothermal waters as both a natural attraction and a place for wellness and connection.

The springs are located about two hours from Lakeview in a remote area with limited cell service coverage. Download offline maps before your trip and bring essential water and supplies, as facilities and services nearby are sparse.

The primitive pool maintains consistently warmer temperatures than the developed pool, making it a preferred choice for many visitors. Its natural rock edges offer comfortable seating without any constructed barriers or modifications.
