Full of western flavor and small town appeal, this town welcomes visitors with mineralized hot springs, for which the town was named. It is the gateway to fishing on the Smith River (by permit only), home to "the Castle" mansion and the weathered homes and outbuildings of the ghost town of Castle. This community sits in the heart of excellent hunting country and is an anchor community for the Kings Hill Scenic Byway, a 71-mile picturesque drive.
