Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park, Provincial park in the Kootenay Ranges, British Columbia, Canada
Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park is a protected area in the Kootenay Range of the Rocky Mountains with two lakes offering fishing and hiking opportunities. The landscape combines mountain forests with open shorelines where water and wilderness meet.
Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park lies in the Kootenay Ranges of the Rocky Mountains, 22 km east of Canal Flats in British Columbia. The park is reached by the Whiteswan Forestry Road, a gravel logging road that climbs through the narrow Lussier gorge near its end. Its two lakes, Whiteswan and Alces, and Lussier Hot Springs are the main features, with five lakeside or riverside campgrounds.
The natural hot springs at Lussier emerge from the mountainside and feed into green pools along the Lussier River. The warm mineral water draws visitors seeking a natural bathing experience set within the mountains.
Five campgrounds spread throughout the park with over one hundred sites featuring tent pads, toilets, and picnic tables. The access roads are passable by car, and facilities work best during the warmer months.
The park holds five campgrounds beside its lakes and rivers, and Lussier Hot Springs sits within its boundaries. The Whiteswan Forestry Road climbs about 17 km from Highway 93/95, with a narrow winding section through the Lussier gorge near the end of the drive.
