Bagby Hot Springs is CLOSED due to Riverside Fire and resulting damage to access roads.
These natural hot springs are located among towering firs adjacent to a secluded tributary of the Clackamas River, 40 miles southeast of Estacada. The springs are accessible by a 1.4 mile trail, offering a unique, rustic experience. Hand-hewn tubs and cedar plumbing are typical of the primitive facilities.
The lower bathhouse contains three log tubs and one 6 ft. round tub in a community setting. The upper bathhouse contains one 6 ft. round tub on an open deck. Please empty your tub and fill it half full so that the water will cool for the next bather. Bathhouse #2 is CLOSED for safety due to severe deterioration and rot.

Winter Use:
The Bagby Day Use area remains open as long as the site is accessible to hosts and managers. Once roads become impassible, the site is no longer maintained. The Bagby Campground officially closes after Labor Day and no services or monitoring for hazards occur until Spring- usually early April.
The forest strongly discourages visitors from attempting to drive in once the roads are snow covered. Even a few inches of snow can obscure icy roads and soft shoulders where vehicles can get stuck. Winter storms can trigger rockslides and falling trees. Local roads and trails are not maintained for winter travel and the area has no cell coverage for emergency calls.
