Crawford Creek Warm Springs, We have added a video of the trip to here.
Link to YouTube in our bio ☺
located along Crawford Creek’s bank, is well worth a visit. From the community of Crawford Bay on the east shore of the Kootenay Lake, find the waste transfer station, follow the road past this (pavement ends at this point) for 1.8km. just before this point (150 m) you will find a rusty-colored rock quarry on the left. it is an active quarry we suggest not parking in this area
There will be a large hump of earth on the right the path starts on the right side of this. The path is fairly easy to follow with some markers in place, there are many slippery spots when wet, good hiking boots are highly recommended.

Autumn, the season that teaches us that change can be beautiful.
The seasons are shifting into cooler crisp air, leaves are beginning to reveal their beautiful colours, and the days are getting shorter.
The swift bustle of summer is moving into the slower, beautiful moments of autumn🍂
The seasons of nature show us that we too, have seasons of our life.
Moving through the seasons can be challenging at times, and requires us to come back to grounding. Finding a hot spring to contrast the
cooling air is one of my favourite ways to experience the shift through summer to autumn 💛🧡

hiking & hot springs 🤝
You can reach the Ram Creek Ecological Reserve by hiking the 11.1 km out-and-back trek that follows a forest service road to the Ram Creek Hot Springs. Hikers can find a number of tranquil thermal pools nearby where they may unwind while taking in the stunning mountain scenery. Although the trailhead's access route is a little dangerous, once you arrive at the hot springs, you will quickly forget about the difficult journey and feel at one with nature.

Ram Creek Hot Springs:
They have the feel of a warm spring. The water temperature was comparable to that of a bathtub, hot enough to soak in all day if desired. When visiting RamCreek, you will enjoy two springs. The upper springs have an average temperature of about 92 degrees, while the lower one has an average temperature of about 88 degrees.
Years before, the water was much warmer; a fault change and a landslide demolished and filled up the vast pools.
The water depth is currently a little shallower than waste deep. The water is just below my neck as I sit on your bottom. The ideal depth for lounging!
There are 2 routes to the springs

Tallheo Hot Springs, These Springs are on the South West Shore of the South Bentinck Arm, Southwest of Bensins Island; reach them by boat or floatplane. The Nuxalk people use a cabin and the Springs for ceremonial purposes. If the site is occupied, you should ask permission before intruding or come at a different time.
Hot water bubbles from the ground along the shoreline north of Hot Springs Creek for at least 450 m. One cluster of Springs, the most desirable and largest, is about 800 M north-northwest of the Hot Spring Creek. Water up to 69 Celsius, expenses from the cracks in the Bedrock just above the high-tide line. The water is clear, odorless, and tasteless, with a moderately low content of dissolved minerals, mainly sulphate, sodium, and chloride.

@breanna_chapman says Thanks for letting me use your hot tub @earth
Sloquet Hot Springs The in-SHUCK-ch Forest Service Road, an active logging road, connects Sloquet to the north. Visitors should exercise caution when traveling on this road and be prepared to yield to heavy commercial traffic on the narrow, twisting road. Still have the headlights on.The Sts’ailes FSR provides access from the south (formerly Harrison West FSR). At the Sasquatch Inn, make a right. This is a Forest Service road. Please drive with your headlights on and pay close attention as working logging trucks frequent this route. There is petrol at the Sts’ailes First Nation gas station right on the road. *It is recommended to check on road conditions after heavy rain or snowfall in case traffic is temporarily restricted.

We love hot springs!
The Halfway Hot Springs on Halfway River are particularly beautiful.
The water is over 40 degrees hot.
To cool down, we take turns diving into the ice-cold river, which is maybe 6 degrees, and then back into the hot pool.
It wears you out, but it's wonderful!
The night we spend quietly in the woods high above the river and take the Needles Ferry across Upper Arrow Lake the next day.
Wir lieben heiße Quellen!
Die Halfway Hot Springs an Halfway River sind besonders schön.
Das Wasser ist über 40 Grad heiß.
Zur Abkühlung tauchen wir abwechselnd in den eiskalten Fluss, der vielleicht 6 Grad hat und dann wieder in den heißen Pool. Das schlaucht ganz schön, ist aber herrlich!
Wir übernachten ruhig im Wald hoch über dem Fluss und nehmen am nächsten Tag die Needles Ferry über den Upper Arrow Lake.

UPDATE TO THIS ARTICLE AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE RESORT!
Fairmont Hot Springs, is no longer available to the general public.
The pools at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort are now exclusively available to guests and members, a change that’s being blamed on a lack of lifeguards in a recent Facebook post.
One pool at Fairmont has always been reserved for guests and members only, while the other has been available to the general public for a price. Both pools are filled with natural hot spring water.
The resort says the decision is unfortunate and that if staffing levels for lifeguards return to normal, it will hopefully be overturned in the spring of 2023.
A 25-day-old job posting for a lifeguard job at Fairmont does not list the rate of pay.
EDIT***
- Spruce Grove campground reservations (until September 6th) give you access to the pools.
- Until the long weekend in October, the upper RV spots give you access to the pools.
- for $25 a year per person, you can purchase a membership and then pay the normal $12 per visit to use the pools.
So the public can still use them. It is just a bit more money for one-time users.
There is still the waterfall and pools in front of the resort and the indigenous people's baths above the resort you can find info and directions for both on our website

HUGE thank you to everyone who has followed us 💕💗 we’re super grateful!
What distinguishes the Banff Hot Springs from the rest? What exactly is it that’s in the water? The answer is that the water contains a lot of minerals, including:
134 mg/l bicarbonate concentration
572 mg/l sulphate concentration
205 mg/l calcium concentration
Magnesium: 42 mg/l concentration
Sodium appears present in a concentration of 6.6 mg/l.
Pre-1880’s Indigenous Peoples were the first to soak in the hot springs. These were sacred waters – a place to cure illness and maintain health.

Finally got to these hot springs that I've had my eyes on for years. It's quite the venture to get to but by far one of the coolest places I've ever experienced. 🙌
The hot springs are positioned next to the scenic and lively Pitt River, as the name suggests. To get there, take Lougheed Highway towards Pitt Meadows and finally Pitt Lake. Then it’s a boat ride to the north end pier, followed by about 20 kilometers of biking on a flat logging path

Had to make a stop at Liard Hot Springs after running into rainy/cool weather pretty much all of our drive through B.C.
This was clearly our happy place, unfortunately we couldn’t stay too long because there were no dogs allowed in the actual hot springs area. Don’t worry— we made sure Rogue was tuckered out before we took a dip!

Weewanie Hot Springs Park is only accessible by boat. In a semi-sheltered bay with a hot spring and dripping bathhouse. Recreational and commercial boaters use it for hot springs bathing, anchorage, and camping. A pit toilet, picnic area, campsite, and one mooring buoy in the bay are also available. Hunting is not permitted in this park for public safety purposes.
The mainspring is on a steep slope about 20 m above the high-tide line.
Weewanie Hot Springs Park is situated 38 kilometres south of Kitimat on the east side of the Devastation Channel. The only way to get there is by sea.
The name is derived from Weewanie Creek, which is located to the south of the hot springs. The name “Weewanie” is an evolution of a Haisla word that means “many creeks.” The Haisla have traditionally used the spring for hygienic, medicinal, ceremonial, and recreational

Hot Spring Island, Come for the water, but stay for the scenery.
Hotspring Island, formerly known as Volcanic Island in English and Gandll K’in Gwaayaay (“Hot-Water-Island”) in Haida, is a small island off the southeast coast of Lyell Island in the Haida Gwaii archipelago off the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada. The names of the islands are derived from a hot spring on the island’s southwestern tip, the temperature has been measured at 162 °F (72 °C). The island is managed by the Haida Gwaii Watchmen and is part of the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site.
A 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked Haida Gwaii in October 2012, stopping the springs. Pools were emptied in October 2012 after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake shook Haida Gwaii. Since then, hot water has slowly returned to the pools.
Today, the Watchmen guard those traditions for future generations while still looking after one of Gwaii Haanas’ most peculiar locations. Temperatures ranging from 32° C to 77° C (89° F to 170° F), the springs seep from at least 26 tiny vents. While its mineral content makes it taste salty, the water is not seawater.
