100 Acres in Willow Creek Hot Springs, Fields, OR
This property is in the SE part of Oregon in Malheur County, not too far from Nevada and Idaho. We believe that we are neighbors with the famous Whitehorse Ranch. We are not too far from the White Horse Hot Springs either.
There is some timber on the property, and we own part of the lake as well. The lake comes and goes with the weather. Maybe use it for hunting, a Ranch or a few smaller Ranches?
There are antelopes, wild horses, coyotes and lots of fish in the lakes in the area. So, if you are into hunting or fishing this is the property for you as well.
Very good property to keep in your portfolio.
Only $45 in property taxes per year.
Located in the remote part of southeastern Oregon, just 20 miles north of the Oregon-Nevada
border, Whitehorse Ranch Hot Springs, also known as Willow Creek Hot Springs, is a hidden gem
in the high desert.
The hot springs consist of two adjoining perfectly-round pools, separated by a concrete dam. The
fairly clear mineral water bubbles up at 114°F through the sandy bottom of the 14 feet in diameter
and 2.5 feet deep smaller pool. This pool is hotter with the water temperature between 100 - 104
degrees Fahrenheit, depending on air temperature and wind. The water from the smaller pool
flows into the larger and cooler pool where the temperature ranges from 85 to 95 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Despite being one of the region's most frequented pools, it is quite preserved, generally clean and,
usually, not crowded. There is a BLM campsite nearby where visitors can settle and enjoy
widespread nature and the beauty surrounding Whitehorse Ranch Hot Springs and Willow Creek.
The campsite is right on the creek's bank and it has everything that is necessary for a leisurely
camping experience including picnic tables, fire rings, parking spaces, and an outhouse pit toilet.
Camping at Whitehorse Ranch Hot Springs will fill your stay with playful sounds of nature and
fabulous sunset and sunrise soaks.
This site is quite a natural beauty, with plenty of vegetation and wildlife, such as Pronghorn,
Bighorn sheep, Greater Sage-Grouse, and many more. Some visitors claim to have seen many of
these wild creatures during their stays.
The hot springs are easily reached from the gravel Whitehorse Ranch Road (read driving directions
below). The last 2.5 miles of the dusty road becomes soft mud. The road gets pretty muddy on
rainy days; thus, it is best to go to the hot springs during non-rainy seasons to ensure you won't get
stuck in the mud.
