BRITISH COLUMBIA
British Columbia holds the greatest concentration of thermal springs in Canada. This page lists our 31 researched BC visitor guides — developed resort pools, rock-lined riverside basins and remote backcountry sources — drawn from a wider record of 125 BC springs in the national research inventory.
Each guide carries published opening hours, the current access review, approximate historical coordinates and the source it came from. Closure notices from land managers override regular hours, so check the official link in a guide before travelling.
