Harbin Springs (formerly, Harbin Hot Springs[1] and Harbin's Springs[2]) is a set of three springs in Lake County, California that was turned into a resort in the 19th century.[3] It is located 3.5 miles (5.6 km) east-southeast of Whispering Pines,[2] at an elevation of 1555 feet (474 m).[1] It is the site of the Harbin Hot Springs.
James M. Harbin came to California in 1846 and co-discovered the springs in 1852.[2] Harbin bought out his partner in 1860 and built a home and later a resort that by 1909 had accommodations for 200 guests.[2]
