Big Butte Springs are natural springs located near the south fork of Big Butte Creek in Jackson County, Oregon, about 30 miles (48 km) north of Medford.

It provides 26 million US gallons (98,000,000 L) of high quality water per day.

[2][3] The springs provide enough water to meet the needs of the valley for seven months of the year.

[4][5] Several years later, the surrounding land was not cleared of debris when the Fish Lake dam was expanded.

The Medford Aqueduct, a 31-inch (79 cm) pipeline, was finished in 1927, transferring about 40 cubic feet per second (1.1 m3/s) of drinking water to residents of the Bear Creek watershed.
