Nakusp Hot Springs BC Forest

Positioned on the western slopes of the Selkirk Mountains in British Columbia's Arrow Lakes region, Nakusp Hot Springs occupies a forest clearing of quiet splendor just outside the small town of Nakusp. The resort pools draw from a calcium-rich source that delivers water at 41 °C, striking a balance between invigorating heat and the kind of sustained warmth that encourages long, contemplative soaks beneath a canopy of coastal cedar and hemlock.

The calcium-rich composition of the water, combined with a near-neutral pH of 7.3, produces an exceptionally smooth bathing experience with none of the sulfurous bite found at many mountain springs. Interior British Columbia's Indigenous communities have long regarded these waters as a place of significance, and that sense of timelessness persists today. Against the backdrop of old-growth forest and the distant shimmer of Upper Arrow Lake, Nakusp offers a resolutely unhurried encounter with one of the Pacific Northwest's most serene natural landscapes.
