Hunters Hot Springs, located just north of Lakeview, Oregon, is a simple hotel known for its large hot spring pool and active geyser. While it’s not a luxurious resort, it provides its guests with clean, comfortable accommodations and superb service.
The lodge is located just north of the California border, about 3 hours east of Medford, OR on State Highway 140. It’s a special resort that puts their attention to four key points:
food, music, wellness, adventure and fun.
Natural Hot Spring Pool
The highlight of Hunter Hot Springs, for many, is the large, in-ground concrete pool. This pool is filled with geothermally heated mineral water from a nearby source, so it’s always at a perfect temperature for soaking. Water emerges from the source at nearly 200° F, but it has cooled to an appropriate temperature by the time it reaches the pool.
Due to the composition of the minerals present in the water, the pool is often tinted green. To remedy this, and to ensure the pool stays sanitary, the resort drains and refills it nightly. Access to the hot springs pool is included for guests of the hotel, but visitors may also purchase a day pass at the front desk of the hotel.
There is also a hot tub filled with mineral thermal water. It’s a terrific way to relax after a long day of adventuring in southern Oregon.
Besides the pool, Hunter Hot Springs is well-known for Old Perpetual, the Pacific Northwest’s only active geyser. Generally, Old Perpetual shoots 200-degree water to heights of fifty feet approximately every ninety seconds, making it a popular tourist attraction.
