Bingham Springs is the historic name of the Bar M Ranch, a 633-acre guest ranch on the Umatilla River in the Blue Mountains east of Pendleton. Its geothermal water is about 93F and is used for a pool. The ranch also has cabins, a lodge, a store, a playground and hiking trails, and the river is used for fishing and tubing. Access appears to be tied to lodging, and fire closures may affect the area.
