Description
McCredie hot springs is 50 miles from Eugene and eight miles east of Oakridge. There are several hot spring-fed pools located adjacent to the Willamette Highway on either side of Salt Creek. The season determines the number of silt-bottomed, shallower and wider pools that are suitable for soaking.
It is well-known that pool temperatures can fluctuate. Before you dive in, make sure to use a thermometer!
