About this swimming hole
Buckeye Hot Springs hides at the bottom of Buckeye Canyon near Bridgeport, where a hot spring pours into a rock pool on the edge of Buckeye Creek. Soakers mix the hot inflow with cold creek water to taste. The rough dirt road down keeps it one of the quieter Eastern Sierra soaks.
