Sulphur Works

Address: 38050 Highway 36 East Mineral, California 96063

Sulphur Works is located inside Lassen National Park and about 1 mile north of the      Southwest park entrance. Sulphur Works is said to be the Volcanic center of the ancestral Mt. Tehama. It is about 0.6 mile out and back trail and can be seen while driving along the main road of State Route 89. Its a very short walk from the parking area and public restrooms are available. The boiling Sulphur and steam holes are viewed from the sidewalk and closest you’ll get to a boiling pit.

A short path loops around steam vents, bubbling mud pots and rumbling vents called fumaroles. When you are closer to the active hot mud, it will smell like rotten egg due to  other natural gases. The road going to the area is winding road with no guard rail so please drive slowly and watch for pedestrians.  There is also a 2.2 roundtrip hiking trail leading to Ridge lake near the Sulphur Works.
