Terwilliger Hot Springs — Attraction in Sweet Home

PER POSTED SIGNS WILL BE CLOSED 5-7JUL22 FOR TREE CLEANUP. DO NOT TRUST GOOGLE PIN FOR THIS, INSTEAD SEARCH FOR TERWILLIGER HOT SPRINGS TRAILHEAD TO SEE CORRECT ACCESS POINT. Beautiful springs. Like other reviews stated, turn right at the dam instead of left like Google wants to take you. Road was paved in all but one small gravel section, my compact rental had no issue. Arrived around 6P on a Sunday to a decent crowd but still ok, started to thin out pretty quickly.

Everyone had suits on when we went, and there were even some kids there. • There is a changing area near the springs too if you want to change out of the wet suit before...

The Nude couple visited, so I left it with consideration. The feeling of walking while watching the falling waterfall is refreshing and it is a place to recommend.

Next time, I'm going to camp at a nearby camping site and visit early in the morning and late evening . There is no reception so you should down load map before you get...
