Whiskey Springs is an unincorporated community in Mendocino County, California.[1] It is located 8 miles (13 km) north-northwest of Comptche,[2] at an elevation of 600 feet (183 m).[1] The location was named teamsters stopping there during trips. In 1936, a fire suppression camp consisting of temporary structures was built at the site.[3] The camp was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps. As of 1936, the spring itself provided a year-round flow of water.[4] In 1974, the United States Forest Service conducted redwood regeneration tests at Whiskey Springs.[5]
