Amenities include a changing house and composting toilet, as well as a scenic boardwalk leading to the hot spring pools.

The boardwalk takes visitors through a warm water swamp and boreal forest with a diverse range of plant and animal communities. From watching moose feeding in the swamps to watching a total of 104 different birds take flight in the area known as the “Tropical Valley,” there’s plenty of untamed nature to take in here.

As well, visitors can spot numerous fish swimming in the pools alongside the boardwalk.

So there you have it, BC! If you’re looking for a bit of adventure and the chance to unwind at one of the most famed hot springs in the country, look no further.
