Are you already missing the warm rays of summer? Don't fret! There's still time to enjoy the beauty of Oregon's outdoors before winter sets in. One great way to relax in nature this Fall is to take a trip to one of Oregon's incredible natural hot springs. Located near Roseburg, Umpqua Hot Springs is a lovely mineral spring made up of three soaking pools perched above the rushing North Umpqua River. To round out your excursion, stop by the nearby Toketee and Watson Falls. What could be better than two majestic waterfalls AND a relaxing hot spring?
A short, steep hike through the woods leads visitors to this beautiful, little-known hot spring.
The warm, nourishing water will relax and rejuvenate you.
Sit back and relax in this woodsy setting while the gorgeous North Umpqua River rushes by below.
The hot spring is clothing optional, so feel free to let it all hang out (and be prepared to see others doing the same).
Here's an awesome photo of a forest ranger soaking in the hot spring back in 1930.
While you're in the area, you won't want to miss the stunning Toketee Falls. Just 12 minutes up the road, you can pull over at the Toketee Falls Trailhead and take a short 0.8-mile hike to this enchanting cascade.
If you continue on another 0.8 miles from Toketee Falls, you'll reach the amazing 272-foot Watson Falls as well.
This awesome day trip is absolutely magical.
You can also swap things around so that you start with the waterfalls, and then celebrate afterwards by relaxing at Umpqua Hot Springs.
Tip: don't forget to bring cash along for the $5 vehicle day fee.
