Im looking for free natural hotsprings around Sonoma country or the general area north of San Francisco and Santa Rosa. No farther north than Mendicino.

    There's the hot springs accessible only at low tide on the coast near Mt. Tam in Marin County (look for a thread about it on this tribe). I don't know of any other undeveloped springs within your preferred radius.

      Slightly developed is fine, just as long as it isnt private and the fees are not greater than a parking or day use fee for a campgrounds or state park.

        There isn't all that much within your radius (Harbin, Orr and Vichy plus everything in Calistoga) but that's about it. Besides the one I mentioned, I haven't heard of any springs in that area that haven't been developed and/or aren't located on private land. There's a lot of public land around there, just not many hot springs.

        I've heard of a few undeveloped (or abandoned) hot springs on private land in the hills north of Clear Lake (near Wilbur Hot Springs) but I don't know anyone who's been there, and anyway that's a bit farther than you say you want to travel.
