Along with its natural beauty and fertile lands, Oregon was a visage of serenity thousands of settlers dreamt of as they ventured on the daring Oregon Trail during the 19th century.

Nearly two centuries later, Oregon continues to attract millions of visitors each year, enticed by the state's rugged natural environments, breathtaking vistas, and calming retreats. Along with offering several outdoor adventure activities, Beaver State visitors are encouraged to slow down and unwind in one of the region's many natural hot springs.

Located along the American West Coast, Oregon is home to one of the country's most significant concentrations of hot springs. With five active volcanic systems, these thermal pools are heated by natural geothermic activities beneath the planet's surface before being excreted into the ponds scattered throughout Oregon.

In total, approximately 26 of the state's hot spring destinations are open and accessible to the public, and each offers a unique experience for local visitors and international tourists.
