In a forested setting right on the Halfway River there are two main pools to soak in. There is a shelter for changing and 6 outhouses on site.
Watch out for Poison Ivy in the summer months, the surrounding area is covered with it! PACK OUT WHAT YOU PACK IN, THERE ARE NO GARGABE FACILITIES ON SITE.
Driving Directions:From Nakusp drive approx. 26km North to Halfway River. Just before going over the bridge that crosses the halfway river, there is a FSR to the right. Turn onto this road and drive approx. 11.5km to the parking on main FSR. From Galena Bay drive approx. 22km South. On the drive you will pass Halcyon hot springs on your left. As you continue the drive keep your eyes open for the halfway river. Slow down driving over the bridge at Halfway River and take your first left on the FSR after the bridge. Drive approx. 11.5km to the parking on the main FSR. At 11.5 Km you will come to a signed fork in the road. The left takes you down into the newly developed camping area, and a small amount of day use parking. The right will take you to the upper parking lot which is the best place to park for day use, and access to the main pools.

Last year the pot holes in the road made you go 5kmph maximum. It was horrible. Not sure if anything changed.

Do not submerse your head in the pools or enter if you have open wounds. Watch out for poison ivy.

Amazing free natural hot springs. 5 or 6 pools with different temperatures next to a icy cold stream. We did it in a van, street isnt too bad.
