Best Time to Visit Deep Creek Hot Springs
Deep Creek Hot Springs is a natural hot-spring destination in Southern California’s San Bernardino National Forest, reached by a steep hike into the Deep Creek canyon. The pools can be visited through much of the year, but the experience changes sharply with the seasons.
For many visitors, spring and autumn are likely to offer the most comfortable balance of temperatures for the hike. Summer can bring dangerous High Desert heat, while winter mornings and nights can be very cold. Whatever month you choose, current weather, trail conditions, fire restrictions and access information should be checked before leaving home. If you are still planning your first visit, see our main Deep Creek Hot Springs guide for location details, pool information and access notes.
