Halcyon Hot Springs is situated on the eastern shores of the magnificent Upper Arrow Lakes in central British Columbia. The Arrow Lakes run from Revelstoke in the north, south to Castlegar and are the main drainage system for an area known as the West Kootenays. Halcyon Hot Springs is 68 km south of Revelstoke, and approximately 475 km from Calgary. On the southern approach, Halcyon Hot Springs is 32 km north of Nakusp, 280 km from Kelowna, 785 km from Vancouver and 425 km from Spokane. The area is accessed in the north by the Upper Arrow Lake Ferry, which travels between Shelter Bay and Galena Bay connecting Highway 23. Highway 6 in the south is connected by the Lower Arrow Lake ferry crossing at Needles.Communities along the routes include Slocan, Nakusp, the Sandon Ghost town and Shelter Bay.

The resort of Halcyon has great pools, etc to stay in during your visit, the views are awesome. It offers a very good RV campsite (have stayed there on 3 occasions). From Halcyon you can easily reach the remote HS's located a short distance south along the Lower Halfway, and St Leon rivers. Further south you can enjoy the springs at Nakusp.
