Drag the handle to compare the two views. The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
This Fisher Hot Springs is the Baker County one, about seventeen miles from Baker City. Soaking warm is the right label for the water, right around body temperature, so it is warm enough to sit in without being hot. Nothing on the record says who owns the ground or if the public is welcome. The record has no picture of it.
Foothill Road comes within about a tenth of a mile, so it is a short walk in from the road. The record does not give an elevation. Snow is heavy here by Oregon standards, over seven feet a year, and the area is wetter than the high desert farther south. The climate overall is cool. The record names no land unit.
Winter takes the best months, which means deep snow. Anthony Lake Guard Station, nine miles off, is the camping option. You will find no owner or access status on record, so watch for fences and signs. Water at body temperature will not burn you.
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 Fisher 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.

Overview Anthony Lake forms the source of Anthony Creek, named for William 'Doc' Anthony, an ambitious homesteader who came to Baker County in 1864. He was a farmer and a doctor, collected tolls on the Dealy Wagon Road for a time, and ran his ranch until he died in 1914 at age 85.
