Very cool spot to find on the side of the highway. Very popular for filling your water bottles with fresh spring water. Have to say that was some of the best water I have ever had.

Super great experience and ran into impromptu Tub Springs hosts who gave us necklaces in celebration of arriving. Hope the same experience can be had by many more. Thank you to the 2 lovely hosts who continue to remain unnamed.

Easy access to the spring. However you will need to bring a standard RV hose If you wish to fill up a large r container. PLEASE DONT LEAVE YOUR TRASH!! There are no trash cans. Lets not piss off Ranger Rick!

Beautiful, shaded forest picnicking. Lots of flies and bees around the entrance where the water is. So many people come to fill their home water storage, its really hard to enjoy the springs. Im honestly surprised its allowed, or that this is a free resource. The bathroom was possibly the dirtiest one Ive been in--EVER. The trails and tables were clean despite not seeing any trash containers provided. If you need a quick place to run your kids or dogs around, this is a good enough stop.

Amazing place to get a breather from a long car drive and rehydrate. My husband and I use to come here all if the time and fill up gallons of this water. So crisp that it literally feels and tastes glacier like

Having grown up in the Klamath Basin, Tub Springs is a place wed always stop on the way over the mountain. Its a nice, family-friendly hiking spot for those who need a quick stop. You can learn about the Applegate Trail that used to be the main way of transportation through the mountains (and was an alternative to the Oregon Trail that runs farther north). Tub springs is great too, make sure you bring a jug to fill up. And yes, the water is safe to drink! (Also, Stacy we found your rock!)

Awesome place to get natural water straight from a natural underground spring. There is a nice hiking trail also and this place does have a bathroom that has been decent each time we have stopped

Some of the the best water in Oregon. You can drink it right from the spicket. We stop every time we smash 66 on our motorcycles.

Absolutely one of my favorite stops in my way to Ashland from KFalls.Bummer that the left has made such a mess of it by throwing trash on the trails through their occupation philosophy while driving their fossil fueled vehicles (to which they want the rest of us to stop using) up the hill to fill up their 5 gallon water jugs ....which creates a wait time for those just wanting a drink or water bottle full.

I spent the majority of my teenage years up at Hyatt lake because my father owned one of the restaurants up there. I would frequent Tub springs for water and a nice walk. This place is beautiful and has historical relevance to our area. The water is pure and fresh, definitely worth the drive up.

If you have time to go there, its about half an hour out of Ashland, dont forget to take a few water bottles with you. Its the finest spring water and there are always folks who will fill up water.There is a small picnic area under the most pristine trees and enjoy the silence or listen to birds and relax.
