Bagby Hot Springs, Estacada, Oregon

Description
This is an amazing Spring. Set in the Mt. Hood National Forest, it is a wonderful hour and a half drive outside
of Portland. Once you park at the designated area, there is about a mile and a half walk to the site of the
springs. It is maintained by The Friends of Bagby, and they do a great job. The water comes out of the ground
at about 130 degrees F, and is channeled into a few bath houses that have big wooden tubs in separate
spacious stalls. Once you find a stall and fill the tub with hot water, then it’s off to the cistern to grab buckets
of cold water to get the desired temperature. These are amazing, as is the hike to the site. I highly recommend
anybody looking for a very relaxing soak to check them out. You can also camp near the location, which I
think is awesome, because you can put candles in the large iron candle holders in the stalls and soak by

Wilsonville Community Spring, Wilsonville, OR
2 of 12 2/21/2011 10:31 AM
Description
The street address will leave you at dead end road with no parking signs. If you have driven, it’s ok to park
for a short time and get water. GIS maps are confusing, the road ends a pedestrain bridge, but don’t fret, you
are close. Cross the bridge over Boeckeman Creek into a gravel parking lot. Wilsonville Community Garden
will be on your right. A gated road bisects the garden, heading towards a brick building which is itself a pump
house for a well. Walk down the gravel road toward the building, nearing another fenced garden plot on the
left. Continue toward the building, passing it on the left side with the garden on your right, following the
footpath towards the forest. You’ll notice a sunken area with cattails about 50 yards past the garden heading
towards the forest. This is where the spring is located, just to the right of the trail. There is 6 inch pipe where
the water flows out. Look close it acn difficult to find is overgrown The area near the spring was mowed in
June 2009, bring a machete or at least shirt with sleeves and pants as the blackberry brambles can overgrow
the outlet quickly.
“Interesting note: This area was once the site for Nike’s Corporate Headquarters, but never materialized and
is now home to 3/4 acre of community gardening space. Another interesting note: I talked with a hydrologist
who was gathering data on the wells for the city, it’s their backup water supply, though rarely used. He said
the water should be of the highest quality as the aquifer orginiates from the Southwest side of Mt Hood,
traveling 400′ underground before coming above in Wilsonville. He also stated that the water is melt water
from snowpack as the temperatures are colder in the summer and warmer in the winter months. I drank from
it daily for 6 months and my health improved daily.” – Alec

Off highway 30. Park at Multnomah Falls lodge. It is a 3 mile hike to the source. You can grab a map of the
hiking loops at Multnomah Falls Lodge. This is a great spring. If you are cruising through Oregon and want to
stretch your legs on a nice 3 mile hike to a spring, this is the spring to visit. Bring a backpack full of empty
bottles for later. Also depending on what time of year you go there are wild salmon berries, blackberries, and
thimble berries growing along the trail all the way to the spring.

fountain & faucet, seems well kept
Nearest Address
Portland, Oregon, 97219
From Portland, 42 miles west on Hwy 26 towards the coast, near mile marker 28. Blue signs saying,
“Drinking Water”. Fountains and faucets on both sides of the road within hundreds of feet of one another. If
coming from Portland, first of two sources will be located on the right side of the road. First of two sources on
the right if you are coming from the coast as well. I read a chat mentioning that the water was tested and it
was some of the best they have seen. I have yet to test it my self so don’t take my word for it. As soon as I
can afford the equipment I will test and update the entry. My personal body test, tells me it tastes and feels
great.

Tubs Spring, Ashland, Oregon

Photo
Description
This spring is located in Tubs Springs State Park and is maintained by the Oregon Park Service. It has a
garden hose spout. The water runs through an ultraviolet light purification system and is checked regularly.
Excellent water quality.
History: In 1846, a wagon train led by Jesse Applegate traversed southern Oregon along what became known
as the Applegate Trail. Tub Springs Wayside is one of the stopping points before you head down the mountain
pass into Ashland. Take a moment to stop here amid the towering fir and sense what it was like 150 years ago.
11 of 12 2/21/2011 10:31 AM
Breathe in the fresh mountain air. There’s an interpretive panel at the wayside describing the difficulties
faced by these pioneers. The name Tub Springs is derived from the tubs that were installed in the 1930s to
provide spring water for travelers. The tubs have been renovated and are still functional today. The same
springs that provided early settlers with plentiful fresh water still flow.
