Bagby Hot Springs

Bagby Hot Springs are natural hot springs in the Mount Hood National Forest, about 67 miles (108 km) southeast of Portland, Oregon, United States and about 98 miles (158 km) east of Salem, Oregon.

The springs are in the Cascade Mountains in a heavily forested area at elevation 2280 ft (695 m).

Bagby Hot Springs were used by Native Americans for hundreds or thousands of years.

[3][4] The United States Forest Service built a small guard station next to the hot springs in 1913.

The volunteer group Friends of Bagby (FOB) formed in 1981 to rebuild the bathhouses.

[6] Between 1983 and 1986, the Forest Service and FOB joined forces to build three new bathhouses at Bagby.

Local law enforcement officers periodically visit Bagby to ensure a positive atmosphere at the springs.

[3] There is no road to Bagby Hot Springs, so visitors must hike a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) trail from a Forest Service parking area.
