There are 5-6 hot spring pools available for your soaking pleasure.
The temperatures of the pools range from 100 to 104 degrees.
To get there; Bowen Ranch Hike
The Bowen ranch hike is about 3.5 miles round trip and is the easier way to get to Deep Creek Hot Springs. It’s a pretty short and easy hike, as compared to the Bradford Ridge hike. As this is the more popular route, expect to see more crowds. Also, to park you’ll have to pay the local property owner $20-30 (make sure to bring cash!) to park and cross the property to get to the hot springs.
The Bowen Ranch trailhead is located off of Hwy 15. You can find the pin as “Bowen Ranch Camping & Parking Area” on Google Maps. Make sure to not just Google “Deep Creek Hot Springs” as it will take you to wrong spot. The road is generally in pretty good condition, but the last 8 or so miles are a dirt road and the last few hundred feet of the dirt road isn’t in the greatest condition so be prepared (you can make it without a high clearance vehicle).
