Lussier Hotsprings, Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park

Really nice rocky spring pools! The upper most pool is the hottest, it has more of a sulphuric scent, but it is nice! (I'm guessing about 108-112 F). The pools down from there have some river influence so are a little cooler. It is a beautiful place. It is a bit of a long trip on the relatively wide logging roads. The road can be rough at times, but a car can get there easily enough. We went twice because it was so nice. Go early in the day to avoid the rush. Wildlife are also nearby. We encountered a mountain sheep as we were leaving, he was very regal!

The drive in can be sketchy in the winter (or when logging is active) but it's worth the drive! Can get a little crowded when it's busy - not a lot of actual pool space - but lots of rocks to perch on and various temperature options depending on how close you get to the river. There are no real services here. No food or running water. Bring everything you may need. Pit bathrooms serve as makeshift change rooms at the top parking lot. Worth the trip if you're in the area.

Great place to relax on a Friday afternoon! We were here March 17, 2023 around 14:00. Only about 5 to 15 people there for the hour we spent there. If you can go when it is relatively quiet, it is a neat experience. Pro tip, bring water shoes (and ice cleats in the winter) if you got them. Shoes make it much easier to climb on the rocks around the springs and river. I'm really glad we had ice cleats to walk down the path. Only the last 3 to 5 km on the way there is a single lane. The rest of the road is not too bad if you are used to driving on gravel roads.

So grande to take a soak in these natural springs right next to the river. Thankfully it wasn't very busy. There is really only one hot pool and one warm pool. The trail from the road is very good. The road in from km15 to km17 could freak a flat lander out.

Enjoy the drive up there. Lots of twists and turns but keep the speed down. Get there early as space is limited in the pools. Interesting place to visit.
