About Scott Spring
Scott Spring offers a tranquil experience with its naturally warm, soothing waters heated to about 68°F. Nestled in Oregon’s rugged landscape, this primitive spring invites you to unwind amidst untouched wilderness, where the gentle flow and natural surroundings create a peaceful retreat from everyday life.
Getting There
Reaching Scott Spring involves a moderate hike through forested trails, so prepare for uneven terrain and a bit of adventure. Parking is limited near the trailhead, and there are no paved roads directly to the spring, reinforcing the natural, undeveloped atmosphere of this Oregon swimming hole.
What to Expect
The water at Scott Spring feels comfortably warm rather than hot, making it a refreshing soak after your trek. You’ll find a quiet, low-key setting without built-up facilities or crowds, allowing for a private encounter with nature. The atmosphere is calm, framed by native greenery and the sounds of wildlife.
Tips for Visitors
Bring sturdy footwear and plenty of water for the hike, as amenities are nonexistent. Visit during weekdays or off-peak seasons to avoid any nearby visitors, since the spring’s limited access keeps crowds smaller. There is no entry fee, but leave no trace to preserve this peaceful spot.
