About Eagleville Hot Springs
Eagleville Hot Springs offers a rustic soak in the Tricorner Region of Surprise Valley, where California, Oregon, and Nevada converge. These primitive pools provide a warm 103°F retreat surrounded by open desert landscape, inviting you to relax in a natural setting with minimal development and a quiet atmosphere.
Getting There
You access Eagleville Hot Springs by driving along a remote road with limited parking nearby. No hiking is needed, making it one of the more accessible hot springs in California’s backcountry. The pools lie close to the road, though their discreet location means you’ll need to pause and look carefully to spot them.
What to Expect
The experience at Eagleville is laid-back and tranquil, with two basic pool basins formed by natural rock. The water is comfortably warm year-round, and the site sees few visitors, offering a peaceful escape from crowds. Facilities are minimal, so you’ll find no restrooms or amenities — just pure, primitive hot spring soaking.
Tips for Visitors
Visit during off-peak times to enjoy solitude and bring everything you need, including water, snacks, and sun protection. Since the springs sit on private land, it’s important to respect the area and pack out your trash. Clothing is unofficially optional here, reflecting the casual, natural vibe of this remote California swimming hole.
