Is this the right stop for your trip?

Choose a lake hike rather than expecting a developed bathing pool. Decide on a trail route before you leave the trailhead.

Access and seasonal planning

Paulina Lakeshore Loop is 7.5 miles total; not the distance from every trailhead to the springs. Main-road winter closure limits normal vehicle access.

Use the Visit Bend visitor information for the latest access instructions. Check ODOT TripCheck for state-highway conditions; forest and refuge roads need a separate land-manager check.

A SECOND SOURCE, A DIFFERENT PURPOSE

The geothermal record

DOGAMI records this feature as Paulina Hot Springs 1, reference DE-004b, in Deschutes County. We matched the named destination to this historical inventory for geographic context.

A geological spring location can differ from the entrance, bathing pool or parking area. Historical source-water readings do not describe today’s bathing temperature, so they are not presented as live pool measurements.
