Bagby Hot Springs, Natural hot springs in Mount Hood National Forest, Oregon
The natural geothermal waters of Bagby Hot Springs flow through cedar tubs situated among tall Douglas firs in the Mount Hood National Forest.
Bob Bagby discovered these mineral springs in 1880 while hunting deer in the Cascade Mountains, establishing the first public access facilities.
Native American tribes from the Pacific Northwest used these thermal waters for physical restoration and medicinal practices before European settlement.
The springs require a 1.4-mile hike from the parking area and maintain a constant temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year.
Three separate bathhouses contain private wooden tubs crafted from local cedar logs, allowing visitors to adjust water temperature using cold stream water.
