Foley Hot Springs (also called Foley Springs / historic Bethesda Hot Springs) sits about four miles up Horse Creek from McKenzie Bridge in Lane County, Oregon. Soak Oregon states the location is private and not publicly accessible for soaking; a U.S. Forest Service ranger-station note quoted on that page likewise warns against sneaking onto the property. NOAA's thermal springs survey measured the Foley Springs vent at about 178°F. This directory keeps the listing for geographic reference only — there is no verified public day-use program.

In Lane County, Oregon, Foley Hot Springs is a short way off Horse Creek Road — under a quarter mile. Status on file: permanently closed; treat this page as archival. Treated here as an undeveloped backcountry pool; nothing on file corroborates that label. NOAA's thermal springs survey measured the vent at 178°F, in the scald range above 110°F. Entry pricing does not apply in its closed state and the amenities list is empty in our data. Ask on site about clothing rules; nothing in our file settles the policy.
