This Oregon Geyser Is The Coolest Thing You’ll Ever See For Free

If you've ever visited Yellowstone, you probably paid a visit to Old Faithful and waited patiently for it to erupt. Old Faithful is cool, but did you know there's also an Oregon geyser? It's one of the best things to do for free in Oregon. Head to Lakeview to see it:

You'll find Oregon's geyser in the little town of Lakeview, way down south near the California and Nevada state lines.

Old Perpetual was once a popular attraction in this neck of the woods, and it's still well worth a visit and a really fun thing to do in OR.

The Oregon geyser is located at the Hunter's Hot Springs Lodge, which opened up back in the 1920s. This 40-acre property still looks much like it did back then, and has a definite retro charm.

As you approach Hunter's Hot Springs, you can see clouds of steam drifting across the road. These thermal hot springs are named after Harry Hunter, who bought the property back in 1923.

While Mr. Hunter was developing his hot springs resort, he accidentally created this Oregon geyser while drilling a well - an unexpected bonus for the resort and a fun thing to do in OR.

Once you reach the resort, take the little path to the hot springs to see this geyser in Oregon in action.

An awesome fun thing to do for free in Oregon, you shouldn't have to wait long to see this show - Old Perpetual erupts every 60 to 90 minutes. It's a glorious sight year-round, but during winter months, the steam that rises along with the water is even more beautiful.

The water is hot - between 185 and 210 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to stay back behind the fence while viewing the geyser.

While you're there, check out the resort, which includes several rooms for overnight stays, a bar, and a 104-degree hot springs soaking pool. It is certainly a fun thing to do in OR.
