Description
Borax Lake is a 10-acre alkali lake in the Alvord Desert. The lake is fed by geothermal springs 100 feet below the surface that range in temperature from 104 to 300 °F. Surface water temperatures usually range from 61 to 100 °F but occasionally go higher. The springs lie along the Steens fault zone, which runs north–south through the Alvord Valley east of Steens Mountain.
The lake contains high concentrations of borax, as well as arsenic and lead.
