Meager Creek Hot Springs
Once BC’s biggest wild soak — closed indefinitely by landslides and wildfire.
Meager Creek was once the most-visited natural hot springs in western Canada, with large developed pools in a spectacular volcanic valley northwest of Pemberton. That era ended with the massive 2010 Mount Meager landslide — the largest in Canadian history — and the site has never fully reopened.
Today the recreation site is closed indefinitely. The Meager Creek FSR is severed by slide damage, and the 2024 Mount Athelstan wildfire added burned slopes and extreme debris-flow risk. There is no legal vehicle or foot access; any change would be announced by Recreation Sites and Trails BC.
