The Cottonwood Spring Oasis is about a tenth of a mile from the Cottonwood Campground and is a great spot to see wildlife during wet times of year (winter and early spring). Simply meander down the dry streambed and look for palms and green growth in the distance.

Cottonwood Spring is one of the best areas in the park for birding. The reliable source of water, shade, and trees draws birds and other wildlife to the area. Keep a sharp eye out for the following: Gambel's Quail, hummingbirds, bushtits, and the titmouse with its pointy crown.

The Cottonwood Spring Oasis is a permanent spring, a rarity in the desert. The flow varies but currently it's around 500 gallons per day. The spring came to life many years ago due to an earthquake and since then has been used by the native Cahuilla Indians, miners, and prospectors over the years. You can still see the remains of old gold processing equipment and some concrete ruins. Cottonwood Spring is one of the best areas in the park for birding.
