Umpqua Hot Springs is a set of small pools perched on a travertine bluff high above the North Umpqua, in Umpqua National Forest. The uppermost pool is partly sheltered by a wooden shelter; the rest step down the terrace, each a little cooler. It is a forest-service site with minimal development and a short uphill walk from the trailhead.
