Hot Springs Boating Site

Area Status: Closed

This site is located on East Lake in Newberry National Volcanic Monument and near East Lake Hot Springs. There is a fish cleaning station at this boating site and there is a toilet available as well.

The best access to this area is by boat. Launch from the boat ramp to East Lake Hot Springs head westward and look for outcrops of tan rock. Keep an eye out for bubbles of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) in the water. These mark the East Lake Hot Springs. Dig your fingers or toes into areas of bubbles to find the hot water. Very near here was the site of the East Lake Health Resort, which existed from 1913 to 1941.

These hot springs are not available in higher water and will be completely submerged until water levels decrease.

Recreation Fee Site: Parking at this site requires a recreation pass. Passes are NOT available at this site, but can be purchased from Forest Service offices or vendors. Please check here for more information about recreation passes and where they can be purchased.
