Take a journey into the rustic Oregon outback country. Within two hours you can be in the rugged countryside, where you will find Summer Lake Hot Springs, petroglyphs, caves, fishing, hiking and much more.

Summer Lake Hot Springs with an elevation of 4,200 feet is located in Paisley and sits on 145 acres with 21 RV hookups, two houses and four cabins, two of which are brand new structures. The property has been owned and operated by Duane Graham since 1997. It boasts four natural hot springs. The bath house is covered and has showers and dressing rooms. Just outside the bath house are two rock bathing pools, which have a peaceful view of the lake.
