Tub Springs State Wayside
About
Tub Springs State Wayside is a 40-acre park in southern Oregon, about 14 miles from Ashland. It is a small, compact stop rather than a large destination. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Howard Prairie Dam weather station show July and August highs around 79°F with lows in the mid-40s and only two or three wet days a month. Winters there are cold and snowy, with highs in the mid-30s and snow on about nine days in December and January. The wayside makes a convenient base for the surrounding area. Keene Creek, a canoeing spot, is less than half a mile away, and the Greensprings climbing area is about 2.5 miles off. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail passes within 3.5 miles, and Hyatt Lake Recreation Area, which has camping, is about 3.7 miles away.
