Sloquet Hot Springs

Multiple thermal pools of varying temperatures line the banks of Sloquet Creek, with a small waterfall feeding hot water into connected basins.

The springs, located in the traditional territory of the Xa'xtsa First Nation, have served local indigenous communities for generations before European settlement.

The Xa'xtsa people maintain an active connection to the springs, using the site for traditional ceremonies while managing visitor access and preservation.

The location requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle to access the site, which includes twenty campsites equipped with picnic tables and fire pits.

The springs contain distinct thermal layers where cool water floats above denser, mineral-rich hot water reaching temperatures of 64 degrees Celsius.
