Drag the handle to compare the two views. The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Anderson Springs is an unincorporated community in Lake County, about four and a half miles from Cobb, and the record carries it as a place name. No water temperature is on file. Nothing here says there is a spring to sit in, or that one still flows. Rose Anderson Road passes within a few dozen feet of the mapped point, so whatever is there is beside the road.
Lake County hill country, roughly fourteen hundred feet up. The climate on record is mild, winters wet with about 35 inches of rain and snow almost never. Roadside access class. No landowner is recorded and neither is public access, which leaves no basis for saying you can walk up to anything.
No best months are listed, which follows from there being no temperature to plan around. Warm Springs Rec Area is the closest camping on record, seventeen miles away. Before driving out, confirm there is a spring to see and that it is not on somebody's land; the record settles neither question. No fee information exists.
