The Juntura Hot Springs are located on an island in a horseshoe-shaped bend of the Malheur river near the small town of Juntura, Oregon. Two pools are on the island and the hotter of the two gets to about 106 degrees Fahrenheit.

The springs can be inaccessible when the river is high, with water reaching above waist level. Other times of the year, the side channel is nearly dry and you can easily walk across.
