Big Bend Hot Springs Project - Shasta County, California
Big Bend Hot Springs is located in the town of Big Bend, in northern California. The site has extraordinary geothermal springs and wells and is on the Pit River between two volcanoes, Mt. Shasta and Lassen Peak. Big Bend Hot Springs is in a big transition phase, so please stay tuned and thanks for your patience!
Important News:
- Big Bend Hot Springs is currently CLOSED until further notice. We are working hard on the process of completing a huge list of Shasta County-required permits, repairs, and code upgrades.
- Summer 2010 UPDATE: We are now designing new soaking pools. The architectural drawings and engineering are underway. We hope to submit plans/ permit application soon. We are making gradual progress, but we are still quite far away from Shasta County allowing us to re-open to the public. Our new Restroom and Shower Building is now completed, and has a 2000 gallon septic system and a new potable cold water well. Current priorities: Design and build three new hot tubs, continue working with Shasta County Planning Division to approve all aspects of our commercial-recreational use permit and development plans. Upcoming construction work: heat-exchange system for hot well, new tubs, parking areas, fire hydrant system, re-capping hot well, and fence repairs.
- The "Big Bend Hot Springs Project" (BBHSP), a not-for-profit group, (including local community members and a large network of allies) are the new stewards.
- BBHSP is run by an inclusive group of stewards who see this as a community project. Representatives of BBHSP and members of the Big Bend community are now beginning the gradual work of bringing the special unique property back to its full potential.
