About Moss Ranch Spring
Moss Ranch Spring is a warm, inviting spring nestled in Oregon’s rugged landscape. With water hovering around a soothing 72°F, it provides a gentle, natural soak away from the crowds. The spring’s untouched surroundings create a tranquil spot to connect deeply with Oregon’s wild swimming holes.
Getting There
Access requires a moderate hike through forested trails, so prepare for a bit of adventure to reach this remote spring. There is no formal parking lot, but you can park along the nearby forest road before trekking in. The trail can be uneven and slippery, so sturdy footwear is essential.
What to Expect
You’ll find a small, rustic pool blending seamlessly into the mossy earth and rocky terrain. The water is clear and comfortably warm, perfect for a leisurely dip. Expect minimal facilities and an intimate atmosphere, with few visitors due to the spring’s secluded location.
Tips for Visitors
Plan your visit for weekdays or early mornings to avoid sporadic crowds, especially in summer. Bring water, snacks, and a towel, as no amenities are available. Remember to respect the delicate environment by packing out all trash and limiting group sizes to preserve this natural Oregon swimming hole.
