For the adventurous, there is even an icy creek that runs alongside the hot spring that can provide the perfect cool down afterwards. Polar bear swim anyone?
The road to Lussier is no less beautiful. Located in the East Kootenays, the hot springs are on km 17.5 on the Whiteswan Forest Service Road and easily accessible by a short hike down to the Lussier River. Winter visitors should exercise extra caution because the trail to the hot springs can be very slippery during the winter months.
Aside from an incredible natural hot spring, Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park features two pristine mountain lakes: Whiteswan and Alces. There are also five lakeside or riverside campgrounds, 3 boat launches, a lakeside hiking trail and several wildlife viewing opportunities.
As always, please be respectful and keep this beautiful place clean.
