Part of the bath house is still standing but everything is capped and it is on private land owned by the boy scouts. It is no longer there.

Although the Forest Service has beefed up it patrol of the area, due to it's distance, it is a popular location to break car windows and rummage through the vehicles.  The trail to Bagby is 1.5 miles long one way, and the last 4th of it is uphill. There are outhouses at the Hot Springs and one in the parking lot. To the left of the parking lot seemed to be a nice dry-camping area, although I never did find out if it was day use only or if they charged a fee.  Take care in Late Spring to Early Fall with your car in the parking lot.

Frank Schmidt now owns the land. PGE had it in the 60's and 70's, where it once had a campground. But PGE closed the campground in the late 70's because Russian immigrants were living there full time and threatening others who attempted to camp there. PGE turned it into a day use only park for a few years. After a few lawsuits in the early 80's for people being scalded, PGE closed the park and tore out the footbridge. They then sold the property. Schmidt bought it hoping to develop it into another Brightbush Resort type location... but failed to gain the permits and codes to do such. After being sued twice, he took measures to make access to the area difficult. It has been up for sale for at least 3 years now, but he is wanting too much for it.
