St Martins Hot Springs
Drag the handle to compare the two views. The orange dot marks the spring, in a frame about three quarters of a mile wide.
St Martins Hot Springs is a hot spring beside the town of Carson in Skamania County, Washington, barely a mile out. The water on file is hot, above what you would sit in without cooling. No landowner and no public access status are recorded, and that matters this close to town. Check before you show up expecting to get in.
Roadside, about two hundred feet from an unnamed road, at a low elevation. Wet winters with heavy rain and a fair amount of snow for the height. Wyeth Campground is about three miles away.
Winter months score best. The water is hot enough to hurt at the temperature on file. Ownership is blank, access is blank, so ask locally before visiting. No fee and no chemistry on record.
