Lussier Hot Springs is an undeveloped hot spring just inside Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park in British Columbia, a province of Canada.

History

[edit]

The hot springs are in traditional territory of the Ktunaxa people. In the early 20th century, the springs were used by prospectors, trappers and guides.[2]

Features

[edit]

The springs are made up of several rock pools with gravel bottoms. The hottest pool is up to 43°C, and then the water cools to about 37°C as it flows down through the rest towards the Lussier River.[1]
