You are getting warmer. Though this lake does get a little deeper past the edge of the picture. Those little ripples in the closest edge of the lake are a clue if you know the area. Bigger ripples nearby on this same sidetrail if you care to follow farther than most go.
So we have a popular through route that goes near a lake, but you can't see the springs bubbling next to the edge of the lake unless you take this unnamed user side trail. They don't look like hot springs or are they?
Those look like the springs that feed Clackamas Lake, off the Miller Trail.
An out of District guess.

Got to love modern technology! Everyone wants the ability to respond to someone instantly if they really want to, but if it isn't urgent, they act like they have to go to the post office to send a message thru the mail. Just an observation. Why does it take so long for a response here lately?
Donovan - You are correct!
Sorry since I sent one in a bit out of the district.
