Old Perpetual is located in Lake County, Oregon, in the United States, about 3 km north of Lakeview. The geyser was formed as a result of a well drilling attempt in the 1920s. Once formed, it became a beloved attraction and people came from all around to watch the eruptions and to soak in the nearby mineral pools. For more than 90 years, Oregon’s only geyser would shoot 200-degree Fahrenheit water 40 feet into the air every 30 seconds to two minutes. But in recent years, Old Perpetual is drying up. The geyser stopped functioning in June of 2009, but there are reports that Old Perpetual was erupting in May 2014.
