Halcyon Hot Springs

Halcyon Hot Springs is a natural hot spring resort on the shore of Upper Arrow Lake in the Kootenay-Boundary region of British Columbia, where calcium and bicarbonate-rich hot spring waters emerge from the ancient metamorphic geology of the Selkirk Mountains in one of Canada's most scenically dramatic inland mountain lake settings. The springs feed a series of outdoor pools on the forested lakeshore, offering mineral bathing with views across the turquoise Arrow Lake reservoir to the glacier-capped peaks of the Monashee Mountains — a setting of extraordinary natural beauty typical of the Kootenay region's wild mountain and lake landscapes. The area was developed as a formal hot spring resort in the 1890s and has maintained its character as a remote wilderness retreat accessible by the ferry-linked Highway 23 route through the Arrow Lakes. Halcyon's combination of genuine calcium bicarbonate mineral spring bathing, exceptional mountain and lake scenery, and the remote, unhurried character of the Columbia-Kootenay mountain watershed creates one of British Columbia's most authentically natural and scenically unspoiled hot spring resort experiences.
