Hi. I beleive the positional information got garblled for this one at some point. More likely this is located a full degree to the south (ie 52 12.000 126 56.000). I got a little excited, but after investigating a bit that is my conclusion.
Yes possibly, These coords came from a government type document and it appeared they were approximate coords by the look of the ".000" My hopes is that someone who has been to these springs with a GPS will post the accurate coordinates. I have tried twittering for more info a while bak. I should try again, see what comes of it. Guy
Sezill Hot Springs AKA: Taweh Creek Hotsprings Wild. [HTSPSEZILL] (Remote Wild. H.S. near Telegraph Cr., and Mt. Edziza Provincial Park.) (AKA: Taweh Creek Hotsprings.)
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. Check the local descriptions that this site has provided. Thanks to GTL for this link.
East of Lake Koocanusa Lussier Hot Springs From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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).
# Posted by Marta on November 17, 2008 at 10:41am Hi all of those out there that absolutly love the wild hotsprings and shake their fists at the commercial pools who steal the water. I have been going to Lussier for tons of years. Started off when I couldn't even talk or walk and now we drive there for weekend get aways. These hotsprings are absolutely beautiful, hot, nice to camp by (if you dont like paying for campsites and perfer to build your own fire else where). However they are starting to get over populated. More and more "outsiders" aka city people from Alberta know and love these hotsprings. The locals have always been going there and its always an adventure meeting someone new from BC. So if you're the type that likes privacy, I would suggest checking out these hotsprings but finding a favorite one somewhere else. -Marta
GPS GeoCoords (Trailhead): 49.697, -122.71 Reputed to be the best hot springs in British Columbia and remaining pristine because of the difficulty and length of the hike . . . plus the need to access the north end of Pitt Lake by boat before you begin the long hike. The trail from the north end of Pitt Lake to the Hot Springs is a flat forest logging road. Once you pass the 13.5 mile (22 km) mark on the road there will be a bridge over the Pitt River and directly after the bridge on the north side is the overgrown trailhead towards the Hot Springs. Once you get past the overgrown entrance the trail is clear and overlooks a cliff to the Pitt River Cayon (this trail is approx 5 mins long). At this point you will find two ropes that you can use to get down the steep rocks to the hot springs....MORE INFO LINK

I'm planning kayak trip to Weewanie / bishop bay hot springs this summer, from Kitimat. Has anyone done this previously? I've found some people talking about how good the area is, but few, if any trip reports of what conditions are like. I've read that the area can be windy, but I don't know much about currents/tidal conditions. Any tips?

That would be good to know! Looks like it would be a fantastic area to paddle in, Ben! Hopefully someone out there will be able to provide some info. I will feature this posting to see if we can get some hits. Guy

Soak.Net has much info for the Octopus Creek HS Go To info now!:Soak.Net 'Octopus Creek Hot Springs (49°C / 120°F) are located off Hwy. #6 south of Fauquier. They are hard to find and require some hiking and bushwhacking up the creek.' (http://www.adventurerockies.com/hotsprings.htm Link is dead) Approx. From Canadian Cordillera1 Data - I viewed the waypoint coordinates with my Garmin MapSource and there is a logging road (at N49 52.264 W118 04.809) that almost leads right to the Hot Spring coordinates provided. Turn off hwy6 between Lumby and Nakusp. I have never been there but it sounds like undiveloped wild area according to Hotsprings of Western Canada by Jim McDonald. -GTL- GuyThaLizard Jan. 28, 2007 Octopus Cr. HS Info at: Soak.net

My MapSource GPX file with the BCFS coordinates from what I found on the BCFS map. May be helpful in finding the actual confirmed coordinates. If you are in the area and looking for these springs.
on the Right edge.
