Bogus Soda Springs
Drag the handle to compare the two views. The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Bogus Soda Springs is a warm mineral spring in Siskiyou County, about sixteen miles from Montague and three or four hundred yards off Ager Beswick Road. The recorded temperature is mid-seventies, tepid, so put a hand in and expect no soak. No land owner or access status appears in the record, and there is no water chemistry on file either.
Ager Beswick Road is a short walk away, at about twenty-eight hundred feet. Winters here are snowy, forty-one inches on average, and the year's mean temperature sits in the low fifties, so the spring is a cold-country one despite the mild water. Juanita Lake Campground is the camping on record, about fourteen miles away. The land is uncharacterized in the record.
Midwinter scores best, but that much snow at this elevation means the short walk may be a snow walk; check conditions. Juanita Lake is the campground to aim for, as noted. Access is unrecorded, so confirm who owns the ground. Tepid water means no safety worry and no soak worth the name.

Heat flow measures the warmth working its way up through the ground from deep inside the earth. Where it runs high, rain and snowmelt that seep down through cracks in the rock come back up hot.
