Deep Springs

Public Drinking Spring

Steady flow spring, located on 168 east about 7 miles away from Big Pine. The spring was on the left-hand shoulder of the road. The sign about the area's history can be found at the spot where you can pull off the road. The spring was formed from a small hole in a rock without any nearby creeks. A steep uphill drive on a curvy roadway that is not maintained in winter may be necessary.
I spoke to a local about the spring, and he confirmed that he would certainly drink it. I recommend that you test the water, because I know there was mining in the area many years back.
Any additional information would greatly be appreciated.

Struell Wells and Struell Springs, Down Patrick, Ireland

Public Drinking Spring

The Struell wells were once worship sites for pagan gods, but they are strongly associated with St. Patrick. The four wells, once known throughout Europe for their ability to provide water through underground channels, are situated in a quiet valley near the ruins of an old chapel dedicated to Saint Patrick.
On the Friday before Lammas, mid-Summer's eve and on the Friday before Lammas, August 1, is Lammas Day (loafmassday), the festival of first wheat harvest. This was when hundreds of pilgrims visited Struell. While the oldest written reference to the wells can be found in 1306, none are known to have survived before 1600.
It is often associated with St. Patrick. The legend says that he came from Saul to soak in the waters. Legend has it that St. Patrick blessed the wells, and that he spent much of the night in the water singing psalms or spiritual songs. These wells almost certainly represent the fountain Slan, which is mentioned in Saint Fiaccâ€™s hymn about St. Patrick.
Struell wells still attracts people looking for cures.

Bagby Hot Springs

Paid Hot Spring

Bagby Hot Springs is Oregon's most well-known hot springs and it's less than an hours drive from Estacada. Bagby Hot springs are surrounded by Mount Hood National Forest. The 1.5-mile trek (stroll), takes you to the hot springs' three options.
The Private Deck offers the first option for soaking. This deck houses five hollowed-out logs. Each log is enclosed in a separate room. To allow for views of the sky and dry your belongings, the Private Deck is partially covered. The Private Deck is currently closed due to a renovation project. It will reopen in Summer 2019.
The Public Deck offers the second option, with three hollowed-out log bathtubs that were rescued from the 1979 fire as well as one tub made of whiskey barrel style.
The Friends of Bagby constructed the Upper Deck. It is located just a few steps from the Public Deck. This deck also houses a whiskey barrel soaking bath tub that can accommodate around eight people. Bagby Hot Springs offers both the Upper Deck and Public Decks as a communal, communal soak.
$5.00 per person for the Soaking Fee - Bagby wristbands may be purchased at the Ripplebrook Guardian Station with cash or a credit card. You can just soak, and there is no parking fee.
Alcohol Ban
2002 saw the Forest Service ban alcohol from hot springs. Please be respectful and make sure you always bring out what is in your bag!
For backpackers, car camping is possible at the Bagby Hot Springs trailhead. It is just quarter mile away from the Hot Springs at Shower Creek Campground. You cannot camp along the trail, or at the hotsprings.

Bob Bagby was a prospector and hunter who discovered the hot springs in 1880. We don't know much about what happened between 1880 and 1913 when Phil Putz from the Forest Service Guard constructed the cabin that is still there today. The facilities were expanded in the 1920s to house a small fire team. In 1974, a new guardhouse was built.
The Friends of Bagby was a volunteer group that designed and constructed the current bathing areas at Bagby. After Babgy became a private entity, the Forest Service managed the upkeep of the hot springs. Visit the Forest Service website to learn more.
The Forest Service is not responsible for maintaining roads and trails around Bagby in the winter season. It strongly discourages people from trying to reach hot springs when there is snow. Multiple soak seekers get stuck each year, and the Sherif is called for assistance.
Bagby is not covered by cell phones so visitors who plan to visit during winter are advised to call or stop by Ripplebrook Guard Station to get help before they attempt to reach the trailhead.
Driving Directions
Bagby, Oregon's most well-known hot springs destination, is often used. All of your possessions and trash must be removed. This special place deserves all of our help. The Forest Service offers a guide for outdoor safety that hot springers need to be familiar with. Not only is it illegal to bathe with soap or shampoo, including biodegradable soap and shampoo, but it is also frowned upon. Don't be THAT person.

Mountain Springs, Ricketts Glen State Park, PA

Public Drinking Spring

Description:
The spring was a major supplier of ice during the days when there were no railroads in the area. Ricketts Glen is home to 13 waterfalls and offers hiking trails that cover an 8-mile route. Lake Jean is a beautiful lake located at the summit of the Mountain. It has an island in it. It offers swimming, canoeing, kayaking, camping, etc In the surrounding area, there are many great antique shops. I have bought several glass 5 gallon wine or water jugs from these antique shops. The best time to visit is either summer or fall. You will find plenty of yard sales and vegie stands along the roadsides. I grew up below Mt. Springs, and am very familiar with the forests there. Should you ever get the chance to travel to this area, my husband or I would be happy to guide you.
