Eagle Point Spring
Drag the handle to compare the two views. The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
Eagle Point Spring sits in Klamath County, seventeen or so miles from Klamath Falls. The water is soaking warm, about the temperature of a comfortable bath, which puts it in a different category from the scalding vents elsewhere in the state. There is nothing on record about ownership or access, and no photo.
Eagle Ridge Road passes a few hundred feet away, close enough to call this a short walk. No elevation figure is on file. Winters here are snowy, nearly seven and a half feet in a typical year, and annual rainfall is higher than the basin country to the east. Whose land this is has not been recorded.
The winter months are flagged as best, which will mean snow on the ground and possibly on Eagle Ridge Road. The closest camping on record is Sunset campground at Lake of the Woods, a little under thirteen miles away. With access unrecorded, look for posting before walking in. The temperature is mild enough that no burn caution applies.
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 Eagle Point Spring.

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.
