Description

The hot spring water emerges from a series of vents, and forms a hot creek that flows to the river mudflats. There is a deep soaking tub large enough to fit several people. [1] The water temperature in the soaking pool is 41 °C/106 °F. [2] There is a small cabin and a hut near the soaking pool. [2]

This is private property and not to be used by the public. Trespassing is not allowed.

History

In the early 20th century there was a vibrant cannery town nearby, and Japanese fishermen would frequent the hot springs. In the 1920s, George Frizzell bought the property where the springs are located, and he built a bathhouse there. [1]

The hot springs are privately owned and visiting without owner permission is an actionable trespass.[ citation needed ]
