Deep Creek Hot Springs, southeast of the high desert town of Apple Valley, is located on a creek beach which resembles the beautiful Lilies Beach near Mendocino. Located within the federal lands of the San Bernardino National Forest, Deep Creek Hot Springs can be found on the USGS Lake Arrowhead Quadrangle Map, 10 miles due north of Lake Arrowhead's outlet tower. As fantastic!! as this hot springs is, its slight Achille's heel lies in its remoteness, and the Achille heals which some nonhikers acquire when visiting it. But for those who would enjoy a moderate 45 minute hike in and another one-hour hike out, Deep Creek is highly recommended. The hot pools are situated in some fascinating rock outcroppings where the creek makes a sharp bend around the end of a ridge (right side of lower photo).While there is cell service at Bowen Ranch, there is no service on parts of the road to Bowen Ranch, as well as no service on the trail and at the creek (tested with AT&T only)
