Fish Hatchery Warm 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.
Fish Hatchery Warm Spring is a tepid spring on Yakama Nation Reservation land, with Chenoweth listed as the nearest town and Wasco County on the record. Public access is marked unknown, which on tribal land means you should assume permission is required. The water is warm, nothing more. A USGS site is attached to it.
Fish Hatchery Road runs within about five hundred feet, a short walk. Low elevation. The climate brings moderate rain and a respectable snowpack in winter. The nearest campground on file is Atkisson Group camp, more than twenty miles off, and because the land is tribal, camping near the spring is not something to assume.
Winter months rate best. Ask the Yakama Nation before visiting, since access is not on record and the ground is reservation land. Fees and chemistry are both blank. The temperature is mild enough that there is no burn risk.

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.
