Halfway River Hot Springs lies in the remote Peace River Country of British Columbia. Its calcium-rich water surfaces at 42°C in an open-air pool, reached deep in the wilderness far from any facility.
Insider tip — The Halfway River hot springs lie in the remote Peace River backcountry of northeastern British Columbia, accessible only by forest service roads and requiring a short hike through boreal spruce and aspen forest. Calcium-rich waters at 42°C pool in natural rock basins above the river, which takes its name from being roughly halfway between the Rocky Mountain foothills and the Peace River itself. Moose, black bears, and woodland caribou are frequent visitors to the area, particularly at dusk. Pack in all supplies and observe leave-no-trace principles, as this undeveloped site has no facilities and sees very few visitors.
