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