Story

It is rare to find hot springs untouched by concrete and this pool is one of the exceptions. A very short, easy trail leads to a small and shallow hot spring that can comfortably seat 6-8 people. This isn't swimming, it is submerging, so keep that in mind. The spring does have algae but a nice gravel bottom, not a slime pit filled with mud. The parking area can be easily found on google maps (go to the campground and picnic area), but the trail itself can be difficult to find. It runs northeast from the trailhead and you will have to cross the creek to find the trail. It follows a private fence line.
