About Willow Creek Hot Springs
Willow Creek Hot Springs is a natural hot spring in Harney County, about 21 miles from Fields as the crow flies. The land is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
Willow Creek is widely mapped as a remote BLM-area soak, but a dedicated current facility page was not found. That missing source is meaningful: verify the route, land status and conditions instead of treating old directions as permission or proof of access. source

Before you go
- Check the land manager's page and current alerts on the day you go; roads, trails and day-use rules change with weather and fire season.
- Pack out everything, including trash left by others; there is no staff on site.
- Water temperature varies by pool and by season. Test it with your hand before getting in, and never put your head under in natural hot water.
- Carry a paper map or an offline map: phone service is often weak or missing.
