Soaking in the healing waters of natural hot springs is one of the most effective and enjoyable ways to relax in nature, and BC boasts several options. Whether you’re looking to experience a resort-like hot springs complex just off the highway, soak in an undeveloped pool in the woods, or unwind in the seclusion of hot springs accessible only by water, BC has you covered.

Here are Top Six of the province.


Harrison Hot Springs

Harrison Hot Springs is a popular resort town located a couple of hours east of Vancouver. The town sits on ultra scenic Harrison Lake, known for water sports and its gorgeous mountain backdrop. Hike long lush forested trails, paddle on the lake, and check out cute shops and restaurants.

The hot springs themselves can be accessed at the public pool, or at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort. The resort maintains several pools, some indoor and some outdoor, that are fed by the hot springs.

Halcyon Hot Springs

Pretty Halcyon Hot Springs Resort is perched on the shores of the Arrow Lakes, north of Nakusp. The springs’ four pools contain a unique combination of minerals, and they vary in temperature from the hot pools at 41°C/107°F to the cooler children’s pools at 29°C/85°F.

Ainsworth Hot Springs

Ainsworth Hot Springs Resort site along the west shore of Kootenay Lake. The natural mineral water flows from a horseshoe-shaped cave into the pools below. Bathers can wade through this cave as mineral water falls from above, creating a natural steam bath.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

The pools and the cave are open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, but be sure to reserve your spot. The resort is open year-round, offering great accommodation and fine dining.

Fairmont Hot Springs

Set in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Fairmont Hot Springs Resort is the largest natural hot springs in Canada. Play a round of golf in the summer—or ski in the winter—and then look out over the mountains as you relax in their soaking pool with its average temperature of 39°C (102°F).

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Day use of the hot springs requires a one-day membership, and you’ll want to book ahead. Accommodation options include rooms at the resort, cabin rentals, and even camping options for tents or RVs.


Liard River Hot Springs

Liard River Hot Springs Park sits off the Alaska Highway near the BC/Yukon border. Follow the boardwalk to a rustic pool, and watch for the tropical and exotic plants that flourish here (including 14 species of orchids), as well as moose, who are frequent visitors.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Year-round temperatures range from 42°C to 52°C (107°F to 125°F), and a winter visit means relaxing in the steaming pool as the snow covers the surrounding trees. Camp at the provincial park, or stay at the nearby Liard Hot Springs Lodge.
