The spring

Ram Creek is often listed alongside BC’s hot springs, but two things set it apart: the water is warm rather than hot (roughly body temperature at best), and it sits inside the Ram Creek Ecological Reserve — established specifically to protect the springs and their rare plant communities from recreational damage.

Ecological reserves are for nature first: hiking, observation and photography are welcome, but camping and consumptive uses are prohibited and soaking is discouraged as contrary to the reserve’s purpose. Treat this one as a beautiful stop, not a bath — Lussier and Buhl Creek are the area’s soaking alternatives.
