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

[edit] Access

Access is East off Highway 93/95 at the Whiteswan Provincial Park exit (located 22 km North of Skookumchuck or 8 km South of Canal Flats). Take the Whiteswan Forestry Road up to the hotsprings. It is a good condition gravel logging road that is accessible during the summer season with any vehicle. It is a 17 km drive up the road and be aware of the narrow winding section climbing up the Lussier gorge towards the end of the drive. There is a parking lot at the top with a change room/toilet and then a short walk down to the springs. (Note that there is camping a bit further up the road).

The springs themselves are made up of several rock pools with gravel bottoms. The hottest pool is up to 43C, and then the water cools as it flows down through the rest towards the Lussier River. The small, icy river makes an excellent cold plunge.
