Nearest Address

Portland, Oregon, 97219

Directions from Nearest Address

From Portland, 42 miles west on Hwy 26 towards the coast, near mile marker 28. Blue signs saying, “Drinking Water”. Fountains and faucets on both sides of the road within hundreds of feet of one another. If coming from Portland, first of two sources will be located on the right side of the road. First of two sources on the right if you are coming from the coast as well. I read a chat mentioning that the water was tested and it was some of the best they have seen. I have yet to test it my self so don’t take my word for it. As soon as I can afford the equipment I will test and update the entry. My personal body test, tells me it tastes and feels great.

Description

This spring is located in Tubs Springs State Park and is maintained by the Oregon Park Service. It has a garden hose spout. The water runs through an ultraviolet light purification system and is checked regularly. Excellent water quality.

History: In 1846, a wagon train led by Jesse Applegate traversed southern Oregon along what became known as the Applegate Trail. Tub Springs Wayside is one of the stopping points before you head down the mountain pass into Ashland. Take a moment to stop here amid the towering fir and sense what it was like 150 years ago. Breathe in the fresh mountain air. There’s an interpretive panel at the wayside describing the difficulties faced by these pioneers. The name Tub Springs is derived from the tubs that were installed in the 1930s to provide spring water for travelers. The tubs have been renovated and are still functional today. The same springs that provided early settlers with plentiful fresh water still flow.
