Miracle Hot Springs
Bodfish, California4.2 (78 reviews on Google)
Miracle Hot Springs is mapped next to Kern Canyon Road in Bodfish, California, inside a quarter-mile snap. Our status field says temporarily closed — double-check before the trip. Treated here as an undeveloped backcountry pool; nothing on file corroborates that label. NOAA's vent measurement of 119°F sits in the scalding band. Entry pricing does not apply in its closed state and the amenities list is empty in our data. Treat clothing rules as unknown here until you get a local answer.
