Geothermal Waters of the
Middle Fork Valley

Goldmyer Hot Springs is a gem of the wilderness nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, roughly 25 miles east of 
North Bend, Washington. 

Venturing on the 4.5 mile hike from the trailhead to the 20 acre wilderness preserve is a backcountry experience where guests must be self-supported and able to pack in (and out) all necessary supplies.

Amenities provided are very limited. They include an open-air cabana at the hot spring pools, campsites with food hanging lines and containers, three maintained outhouses, one covered picnic table, and a bike rack. No cellular or internet connection available.

Visitors gain access to tranquil terrain, hiking trails through old growth forest, waterfalls, history of the Middle Fork Valley, and a crystal clear geothermal hot spring.

Goldmyer is owned and volunteer-managed by Northwest Wilderness Programs, a nonprofit organization established in 1976 to protect this natural treasure for the use of generations to come.

Obtain a Permit

How To Visit Goldmyer

20-Person Per-Day Limit
Only 20 visitors are permitted on the Goldmyer property each day. This is not the same as 20-visitors-at-a-time, which would exceed capacity of the pools. This policy minimizes crowding at the pools and impact to the environment. 

Permits For This Month, and Next Month: 
You may get permits online or over the phone with at least 2 business days notice. 

Permits For Future Months: 
Enter the monthly lottery for 2 months from now. Lottery winners get first choice on permit dates for the month they applied to visit. After lottery winners are confirmed, any remaining permits are posted to the calendar and made available online and over the phone. 

Walk-ins: 
Walk-ins without a permit are welcome on a first come, first serve basis.  (Exceptions: Tuesday Exclusive Use days, Volunteer days, and any other days noted on the calendar as closed for special use). Walk-ins need to check-in with and pay on-site Caretakers upon arrival. When the property reaches its 20-person per-day capacity, walk-ins will be turned away.
