We describe long‐term soil temperature data collected at the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed (RCEW). These data were collected for over 15 years at five locations representing different climatic regimes and soils in the RCEW. Measurements were made at several depths at each site to a depth of 180 cm in most cases. Each site is located in close proximity to a climate station. Descriptive soil profile information is also available for each site. We illustrate two aspects of the data set, the impact of snow depth on soil temperature and the interannual variability of soil temperature at a site. These data are available to the public via the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Northwest Watershed Research Center anonymous ftp site ftp.nwrc.ars.usda.gov.
