Hunter's Hot Springs (Oregon)
Hunter's Hot Springs (renamed Geyser Hot Springs in 2000〔) are natural geothermal springs located in Lake County, Oregon, United States, north of Lakeview. The springs are named after Harry Hunter, who bought the springs in 1923. The best known feature within the geothermal area is ''Old Perpetual'', which was once Oregon's only continuously erupting geyser. The geyser was formed as a result of a well drilling attempt while Hunter was developing a health resort at the springs.

The hot springs were discovered in 1832 by trappers from the Hudson's Bay Company, who noted in their journal that the water was unbearably hot.〔Birkby, Jeff, ("Geyser (Hunter's) Hot Spring" ), ''Touring Washington and Oregon Hot Springs'', Globe Pequot Publishers, Guilford, Connecticut, 2002, p. 120.〕 They are a small group of alkaline thermal springs in Lake County's Goose Lake Valley, north of Lakeview.〔Miller, Scott R. and Richard W. Castenholz, ("Evolution of Thermotolerance in Hot Spring Cyanobacteria of the Genus Synechococcus" ), ''Applied and Environmental Microbiology'' (Vol. 66, No. 10), American Society for Microbiology, Washington, D.C., October 2000.〕 The temperature of the various springs ranges from .〔("Amenities" ), Hunter's Hot Spring Resort, ''www.huntersresort.com'', Lakeview, Oregon, 30 July 2008.〕 The spring water is alkaline with a high concentration of sulfate and other minerals. This environment supports large bacterial mats in the natural channels that drain the springs.〔Blankenship, Robert E., Michael T. Madgan, and Carl E. Bauer, (''Advances in Photosynthesis Anoxygenic Photosynthetis Bacteria'' ), Springer Publishers, New York, New York, 1995, p.96.〕 As a result, the bacterial mat communities at the hot springs have been studied and analyzed by microbiologists from around the world.〔Schopf, William J. and Cornelius Klein, (''The Proterozoic Biosphere: A Multidisciplinary Study'' ), Cambridge University Press, New York, New, York, 1992, p. 248.〕
