Eagle Point Spring sits in Klamath County, seventeen or so miles from Klamath Falls.

There is nothing on record about ownership or access, and no photo.

Location

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.

Heat Below
93 milliwatts per square meter of heat flow

That's about 1½ times the US average of 65. It's higher than at 36% of the springs on this site.

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.
