Interactive Washington Hot Springs Map displays the best hot springs of the Evergreen State
Although Washington lies within the Pacific Ring of Fire, which circles much of the Pacific Ocean, the Evergreen State has surprisingly few hot springs compared with neighboring Oregon, California, and Idaho.
Hot springs are found in several parts of Washington, particularly on the Olympic Peninsula and throughout the Cascade Range.
Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort, located on the Olympic Peninsula, is one of Washington's best-known mineral hot spring destinations.
The state also has primitive hot springs on both public and private lands. Some are accessible by road, while others require long hikes into remote wilderness areas.
The southwestern part of the state, along the Columbia River Gorge, also has several developed hot spring destinations. Bonneville Hot Springs Resort and Carson Hot Springs Resort offer mineral-water bathing and soaking facilities.
Beyond its hot springs, Washington is also home to the unique, mineral-rich Soap Lake, near the town of Ephrata. This naturally alkaline lake is known for its unusual mineral composition and is another interesting destination for those exploring the state's geothermal and mineral features.
In addition to natural hot springs, Washington has several scenic resorts and spas that offer relaxing hot-water bathing in beautiful natural surroundings. Although these places are not true geothermal hot springs, they provide enjoyable soaking experiences.
Two examples are Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island and Wellsprings Spa near Mount Rainer.
Our Washington hot springs map shows natural hot springs and other soaking destinations throughout the state. It includes locations, short descriptions, photographs, videos, and links to detailed guides.
