Springs in Oregon

43 natural springs in Oregon, United States

Oregon's dramatic geology and abundant precipitation create a landscape rich with natural water sources. The state is defined by two distinct climatic regions separated by the Cascade Mountain Range. To the west, a marine-influenced climate supports dense coniferous forests and lush vegetation, while the eastern side features high desert terrain and volcanic plateaus. This diverse topography, ranging from sea level to the towering 11,249-foot peak of Mount Hood, allows for a wide variety of spring types, from cold mountain seeps to deep-aquifer mineral waters.

Seasonal timing plays a crucial role in the flow and accessibility of these springs. The wet season typically runs from November through April, recharging groundwater systems with heavy coastal rains and mountain snow. Consequently, spring and early summer are often the best times to visit, as snowmelt from the higher elevations peaks and water flow is at its strongest. While many deep-source springs flow year-round, smaller surface springs may diminish or dry up completely during the arid late summer months, particularly in the eastern high desert regions.

Exploring Oregon's backcountry in search of these waters offers a unique way to connect with the Pacific Northwest's environment. Whether you are hiking through the fern-covered valleys of the Coast Range or navigating the basalt canyons of the interior, you will find that water is the lifeblood of this region. Always have spring water independently tested before drinking. Water quality can change with seasons and conditions.
