Wilkersons Hot 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.
Wilkersons Hot Spring sits in Siskiyou County under four miles from Tulelake. Despite the name the recorded temperature is in the mid seventies, which is warm water in the swimming sense and nowhere near a hot soak. The record lists no owner and no access status. A short walk of a few hundred feet separates it from the nearest road.
The nearest road is not named on file, and the spring is about 390 feet from it. Elevation is a bit over 4,200 feet. Winter snow runs around five feet, and the area gets something over twenty inches of precipitation a year. No land manager is on the record and no campground is listed.
Winter months have the best rating on file. With no owner and no access status recorded, learn whose land it is before you walk in. There is no chemistry filed. Mid-seventies water is for a summer wade and will feel cold in the months the record rates highest.

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.
