About Annie Spring
Annie Spring offers a soothing soak in Oregon’s rugged landscape, drawing you into its gentle warmth at 77°F. This warm spring provides a quiet, natural setting where you can connect with the earth’s geothermal energy amid the forest’s calm.
Getting There
Reaching Annie Spring involves trekking through secluded trails typical of Oregon’s backcountry, so prepare for uneven terrain and possible brush. There is no formal parking lot, but you can park along the nearby forest road and hike a short distance to the spring, rewarding you with a peaceful retreat away from crowds.
What to Expect
The spring’s warm water flows into a small, natural pool that creates an intimate swimming hole framed by native trees. The atmosphere is tranquil, marked by the sounds of rustling leaves and birdsong rather than chatter. Facilities are minimal, inviting you to embrace the primitive conditions and respect the environment.
Tips for Visitors
Visit during weekdays or shoulder seasons to avoid any weekend campers. Bring sturdy footwear for hiking and pack out all trash since there are no amenities or trash bins on site. Remember the water is pleasantly warm but not hot, so plan your swim accordingly. Respect local guidelines to preserve this peaceful spot among Oregon swimming holes.
