Terwilliger Hot Springs, also known as Cougar Hot Springs, are geothermal pools in the Willamette National Forest in the U.S. state of Oregon, 53 miles (85 km) east of Eugene.[1] The springs drain into Rider Creek, which in turn drains into Cougar Reservoir.[1] They are about a quarter mile from Forest Service Road 19, also known as Aufderheide Memorial Drive.[1][2]
