Agua Caliente Springs Airport
Owned by the State of California, the facility serves residents of rural east San Diego County and visitors to Agua Caliente Hot Springs County Park. To the uninformed, Agua Caliente Springs Airport looks like a blacktop field next to a two-lane desert highway in the middle of nowhere. To those with knowledge, it’s the gateway to a beautiful hideaway.
The airport is within an easy walk to the park which features geothermally-heated springs and pools, hiking trails and panoramic vistas. A small store adjacent to the park sells supplies and curios.
The park has picnic areas, 140 campsites and two naturally-fed pools for guests. Hikers can roam miles of trails which meander through canyons and hillsides and offer spectacular views of the Anza-Borrego Desert. A relatively abundant water supply supports a wide range of desert flora including acacias, willows, palms and mesquite. And, depending on rainfall and season, there are many wildflowers and succulents.
The park is open from Labor Day to Memorial Day. For park reservations call (858) 565-3600. A single, paved runway and paved tie-down area are the only facilities available at this airport.
