The spring

Set in a red-walled canyon at the southern gate of Kootenay National Park, Radium Hot Springs has welcomed soakers since 1923 and is billed by Parks Canada as Canada’s largest hot springs pool. The odourless mineral water fills a 39°C hot pool, with an adjacent cooler swimming pool (around 27°C in summer) for laps and kids.

Radium is one of the easiest hot springs to visit in BC: it’s open year-round, sits right on Highway 93, and the Village of Radium Hot Springs with hotels and restaurants is two minutes away. Winter hours run October 13, 2026 to May 2027: the hot pool is open Monday–Friday 11:30am–9pm and weekends 10:30am–9pm, while the cooler swimming pool closes Monday–Thursday and opens Friday evenings (6–9pm) and weekends. Last entry is 8:30pm. A national park pass covers park entry, but pool admission is charged separately.
