Sightseeing & Hotsprings
Amazing spot to hang out, cliff jump into the water or just relax in a floaty. A local favourite!
Directions: Take Whatshan Settlement Road back out to Hwy 6 and turn LEFT. After about 1 min you will come around a big right turn in the road and come up to a bridge. Just after the bridge you can turn left. There are 2 parallel roads going left, take the 2nd one. Follow that road, without turning off for about 5-7 mins. You will come to another much smaller bridge and see the sign for the Hippy Hole on your right. There is usually space to pull over and park right there. From there you can make your way through the trail and dive in! Please be safe & have fun!

Absolutely gorgeous views. Beautiful, clean and large pools of varying temperatures. Get a massage, have lunch or just have an afternoon soak! A little farther away than the Nakusp Hotsprings, but it's totally worth the drive!

For the people who love the natural, free hotsprings, this spot will not disappoint! There are change rooms and some benches built out there now. It can be a bit of a hike from the road to the springs, so be sure to look it up first to get the exact location and details as it may not be easily accessible for all.
