Tucked in the Rocky Mountain Range of British Columbia, Canada, you find the beautiful natural Lussier Hot Springs. Located in the gorgeous Kootenay Mountains, in Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park, this is family-friendly and free to the public. The closest two towns are called Canal Flats (Has a great gas station and usually the cheapest gas in the valley) and Skookumchuck
Lussier Hot Springs is easily accessible; You need to go 17Km on Whiteswan Lake Forest Service Road it’s a well-groomed (and very well maintained in the winter) dirt road because it is used for logging.(be very careful of oncoming logging trucks).It’s a short walk down a well-kept path with wooden railings that gets really slippery in the winter. (The snow on this short trail compacts, turning it into a steep, slick skating rink); spikes or cleats are recommended. This may not seem like a big deal for some, but a slippery hike in can make winter visits impossible or increase the likelihood of injury to others.
There is plenty of parking at the top of the trail at Lussier Hot Springs. When you arrive, you will normally find cars already parked there.It’s never a shock to see other cars there. on the road. even at sunrise, and people often turn up at any time of day or night, adding to the charm of the place.
The Springs is situated next to a fast-flowing, cold river. That means you can experience the enchantment of a typical, all-natural Nordic Spa experience: hot, chill, cold, rest, repeat! It’s similar to the Umpqua Hot Springs in Oregon. The river is a great place to take a cold plunge.
There are three pools with rock walls and gravel bottoms. Depending on the season and weather, the upper pool temperature ranges between 109 and 116 degrees. The springs are refreshing as they cascade to the next pools before reaching the river.
There are two outhouses at Lussier Hot Springs, but there isn’t anywhere good to change, so be warned; if it’s cold, there’s nowhere good to get out of your gear or dry off.
Pools at Lussier:
The hot pool: it’s the nearest to the source, it’s boiling hot, and it smells like eggs. There seems to be some “egg” (floating tuffa) in it as well. (Don’t touch the white stuff near the source; it normally stays calm and is also harmless); this is where everybody will be on a cold winter’s day. If you want a good spot in this pool, arrive early.
The rest are slightly lower and closer to the river. It’s typically a warmer tub. then the nearest, You’re going to be cold in this one unless you’re sitting right where the water flows in. If you arrive late and the other pools are full, this is the pool you will be assigned to. It’s a good time to fill holes with mud and rocks to strengthen the tub.
If your finding this place a bit crowded looking for a change or wanting to scratch another hot spring off of your list, Ram Creek Hot Springs is just up the road.
Things to remember at Lussier Hot Springs:
It is important to understand that the “Whiteswan Lake Forest Service Road” is an active logging road 365 days a year. When the logging road narrows to one lane, if you see a logging truck approaching, pull into the nearest pull-out and wait for them to pass.
The logging trucks Still have the right of way, and they don’t slow down unless absolutely necessary; it’s critical to get out of their way as soon as you see them if the road isn’t big enough to safely pass them!

Letting off a little steam with momsuzeboyd
Taking a dip in natural hotsprings was so far one of the most epic things I’ve done 🫧👌🏼
Esses dias estão parecendo inverno por aqui, porém o inverno mesmo começa só dia 21 de Dezembro 😅🤷🏻♀️. Quem aí está ansioso para o inverno? 🙋🏻♀️
Trying to remember there was a time this year when it was hot and sunny🌞…🥶

Take in the beauty of Columbia Valley while relaxing in the all-natural Lussier Hot Springs. 💦 This hidden gem is located at kilometre 17.5 on the unpaved Whiteswan Forest Service Road. 🛣️
Shot skis, discovering Polar Bears, hot tubs, natural hot springs, some skiing, and of course celebrating Miss kyeguy_’s 30th birthday last weekend 🥳⛷🍾🌲
The most incredibly beautiful experience! Wild hot springs next to the White Lussier River. Just perfect after a day of skiing in -16 😍

When I was at Lussier Hot Springs earlier this year in March, it was cold, still a bit snowy, and 10:00 at night 🌙

🇮🇹 Le acque termali di Lussier sono un sito 100% naturale con godibilissime vasche di acqua calda nel fiume, al termine di un'incantevole strada tortuosa che costeggia una foresta e un precipizio. Ci siamo sistemate per la notte in una radura tranquilla nella foresta ed eravamo in branda prima delle 7 causa freddo. Al mattino ci siamo svegliate con Trottola completamente sommersa dalla neve! Ogni strada scomparsa, intorno era tutto bianco! Un bagno nell'acqua bollente sotto la neve è un'esperienza sicuramente peculiare e unica, ma nessuno menziona mai il dolore dell'escursione termica quando vieni fuori a pancia nuda! Ricorda, non dare retta a tutte le cose che vedi sull'internet. Ma fai un salto alle terme di Lussier se ne hai l'opportunità, ne vale la pena 😉

🇨🇦 Lussier Hot Springs is a 100% natural site with awesome hot water pools in the river, at the end of a stunning winding road by the forest. We set up camp before dark in a quiet clearing in the forest and were asleep by 7pm in total darkness. We woke up the next morning with the car completely submerged by snow! No road anymore, just pure white everywhere around! Bathing in hot natural water under the snow is a lovely experience, but... nobody tells you how painfully freezing it is to get out of there afterwards! Remember, don't believe everything you see on the internet. But do check Lussier out if you have a chance, it's rather nice 😉
