All Hot Springs in Northern California

Northern California spans the state’s northernmost 48 counties and contains redwood forests, along with the Sierra Nevada, Yosemite Valley and part of Lake Tahoe and Mount Shasta.



Hot springs in Northern California offer unique geothermal experiences from the developed Orr Hot Springs Resort and Wilbur Hot Springs to the more rustic Travertine Hot Springs in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.

With the wide expanse of mountain ranges and elevation variances, Northern California can have diverse weather patterns. Snow and wet conditions are not uncommon.

Please remember that if you pack it in, pack it out. It is our responsibility to keep these wondrous places around for future generations.
