About this spring
30-acre mineral springs wellness center on the historic Jackson Hot Springs site (dedicated 1862) — Olympic-length alkaline artesian pool, warm soaking pool, private tubs, steam room and sauna; camping and glamping on site, 2.5 mi from downtown Ashland. Clothing-optional adult evenings. Fee: $15 adults per session; private Jacuzzi tubs $85-100. Session-based schedule — check hours before visiting.
Jackson Hot Springs is a private resort on the outskirts of Ashland, Oregon, at the foot of the Siskiyou Mountains. Lithia water — so named for the lithium salts in the mineral water — surfaces here at around 106°F and is piped into two soaking areas: a large indoor pool hall with a 45-by-25-foot enclosed pool kept around 100-102°F, and a quieter outdoor hot tub set beneath a pergola beside Emigrant Creek. The pool house also contains a sauna, massage rooms, and a small restaurant. Outside, the resort offers tent camping, RV sites, and cabins; the Ashland Ski & Snowboard School uses the property as its base in winter. Jackson Hot Springs has operated as a resort since 1879, when German immigrant Peter Britt built a wooden bathhouse on the site; today it draws guests looking for a low-key mineral soak minutes from downtown Ashland and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Oregon geothermal context
Oregon splits cleanly in two: Cascade volcanic springs like the Umpqua corridor pools west of the crest, and high-desert basin springs like the Alvord area east of it. Western sites sit in dense wet forest prone to fire closures and winter road washouts; eastern ones are remote sagebrush tubs under enormous skies. Both ends reward checking land-manager alerts before driving out.
What a resort site means here
A resort spring is a commercial operation: developed pools or tubs with controlled temperatures, changing facilities, and usually day-use fees or lodging packages. Expect posted rules (swimsuits, quiet hours, age limits), staff on site, and in many cases required reservations — especially on weekends and holidays.
Best time to visit
May – October (Spring through Fall)Pacific Northwest springs are framed by lush temperate rainforests. Summer brings dry, sunny trail conditions, while autumn provides vibrant foliage and crisp soaking weather.
