Relax. Refresh. Return.
BC’s Best Kept Secret
Come and enjoy a pristine outdoor experience in a beautiful natural setting. The Nakusp Hot Springs are nestled in the Kuskanax Valley in the foothills of the Selkirk Mountains and are one of BC’s best-kept secrets!
When your daily adventures are complete, you can relax and refresh in the naturally cleanest and clearest Hot Springs anywhere, and enjoy a stay at our comfortable, clean, yet rustic “Backcountry Plus” Cedar Chalets. In the summer you also have the choice of staying in our lovely Campground beside Kuskanax Creek.
It’s All Here!
We proudly say there is something for everyone at the Nakusp Hot Springs, as we offer a myriad of outdoor recreational experiences.
During our spring, summer, and fall seasons, you or your family and friends can enjoy hiking and biking in and around our property. There are short nature hikes to our brand new Kuskanax Footbridge and our historic original Hot Springs site.
For the more adventurous, longer day hikes to beautiful Kimbol Lake and other scenic trails originate from our site. Fishing, kayaking, and canoeing opportunities abound in the Kuskanax River and the nearby Arrow Lakes.
Our picturesque location also provides ample opportunities for a nature walk, birdwatching, and wildlife viewing.
A Protected Natural Area
As of 2025, 70 hectares surrounding the hot springs have been formally designated by the Village of Nakusp under the Municipal Protected Areas Project (MPAP) and the Canadian Protected and Conserved Areas Database (CPCAD).
Designating these lands helps ensure that the natural features and wildlife that make this place special are preserved, not just for today’s visitors, but also for future generations. And by visiting our incredible hot springs, you’re visiting a newly-protected natural area with an incredible history.
The Finest Hot Springs in British Columbia
Nestled deep within the natural beauty of the Kuskanax Valley, the Nakusp Hot Springs are municipally-owned and operated and have the cleanest water and a view that is unsurpassed. The Hot Springs have the cleanest, clearest soaking mineral pools, with 200,000 litres of fresh, filtered water entering each pool every day.
There are two pools fed by water from natural mineral springs a short distance from the pools. The Hot Pool is kept at 104°F (40°C) in the winter and 103°F (38°C) in the summer. The Warm Pool is kept at 100°F (38°C) in the winter and 98°F (37°) in the summer.
A Winter Sports Paradise
In the late fall and winter, we have beautiful snowy landscapes in a moderate climate that encourages many winter sports and activities. Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and tobogganing on our trails; snowmobiling, Heli, and cat-skiing are also available nearby.
The local Summit Ski Hill is within a half hour and the famous Revelstoke Mountain Resort is about a one-and-a-half-hour drive north of the Village.
