Buckeye Hot Springs
Buckeye Hot Springs are natural springs near Buckeye Creek. Hot water flows out of the ground above the creek which can make the trails down to the pools very slippery. The soaking pools are maintained by their users. Nude soaking is well established in all the pools (along with clothed). They are very popular and you will often encounter a crowd. There are many way to reach the Springs but the directions given here are probably the easiest on you and your vehicle. If the Buckeye Springs are washed out when you visit check-out the nearby Travertine Hot Springs.
Crowd: Nude and clothed sunbathers.
