Access and seasonal planning

Near McKenzie Highway; exact approach unverified. High river levels can submerge the pool; regional tourism highlights late summer.

Use the Eugene, Cascades & Coast / Travel Lane County visitor information for the latest access instructions. Check ODOT TripCheck for state-highway conditions; forest and refuge roads need a separate land-manager check.

A SECOND SOURCE, A DIFFERENT PURPOSE

The geothermal record

DOGAMI records this feature as Bigelow Hot Spring, reference LN-001, in Lane County. We matched the named destination to this historical inventory for geographic context.

A geological spring location can differ from the entrance, bathing pool or parking area. Historical source-water readings do not describe today’s bathing temperature, so they are not presented as live pool measurements.
