Buckhorn Springs is an unincorporated community in Jackson County, Oregon, United States.[1] It lies along Emigrant Creek in the Siskiyou Mountains southeast of Ashland.[2] Buckhorn Springs Road connects the community to Oregon Route 66 near Emigrant Lake.[3]
The springs at this location are known for their cold, highly carbonated water. James C. Tolman, who acquired the property around the springs in the 1890s, built a small hotel here called Tolman Springs. Subsequent owners used the property, springs, and buildings in various ways: as a hunting retreat called Buckhorn Lodge; as a picnic stop for tourists who sometimes used the carbonated water to make soda pop; as a retreat with overnight cabins and mineral mud baths; as a health spa, as a private residence; as an inn, and after 1998 as the Buckhorn Springs Retreat Center.[4]
Buckhorn Mineral Springs Resort was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The site covers 95acres and includes many structures in addition to the main lodge.[5]
