Source-derived summary

Seigler Springs is a set of springs in Lake County, California, United States around which a resort developed in the 19th century. In the 1930s the resort was expanded, and in 1947 an airport opened nearby. The resort declined in the 1960s. Part of it was separated out and became a residential subdivision, while part became a religious retreat. The 2015 Valley Fire caused great damage.

Location

The unincorporated community of Seigler Springs is 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Seigler Mountain, 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Clear Lake and 20 miles (32 km) northeast of Healdsburg, at an elevation of 2,251 feet (686 m).

The thermal springs are about 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of Howard Springs.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
