Terwilliger (Cougar) Hot Springs Trail
Terwilliger (Cougar) Hot Springs has a stunning 1/4-mi. woodland hiking trail leading to natural hot springs. The trail through the lush, mossy covered forest is like stepping into the pages of a fairy tale. Then you reach the lagoon with the gorgeous Rider Creek waterfall spilling into it. There are six soaking pools spaced apart by rock walls laid out in steps down a ravine. Temperatures range from 85 degrees in the lower pool to 112 degrees in the upper pool. While enjoying the hot springs remember that there is no alcohol allowed, the hot springs are for day use only - camping is restricted to developed campgrounds in the Cougar Recreation Area and please leave this area just as you found it (be gentle to the nature in the area and take all your trash home).
