Lakeview Hot 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.
Lakeview Hot Springs sits low in Riverside County, a bit over a mile from the town of Lakeview, off Martin Street. The water comes out at body temperature, warm enough to sit in for a long while. Nobody is named as the owner and access was never set down, so private is a fair assumption. There is no photo of it.
A tenth-mile walk from Martin Street, more or less. The site sits under fifteen hundred feet, where snow does not fall and rain is scarce, so it is usable in any month as far as weather goes. Land unit and designation fields are empty. Wildomar Campground, the nearest on file, is about 21 miles away.
Winter is the best-months pick, and with no snow at all the whole year is open. Temperature is right for soaking with no chance of a burn. The big unknown is land status; nothing on record grants public entry, so look before you walk in from the street.
Aircraft with laser scanners measured this ground to within inches. The scan strips out trees and buildings, leaving the bare shape of the land around Lakeview Hot Springs.

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.
