Sloquet Hot Springs

Category: Hot Springs-soakable

GPS GeoCoords:
As far as I could drive: 49.751100, -122.247240
Spring Sources from another person, placing them a little further west than I remember: 49.7295, -122.327166

In either case, hiking up the creek, you are going to find them within a half mile.

The following is the description and directions from "Hotsprings and Hot Pools of the Northwest" ©1993 by: Jayson Loam, and Marjorie Gersh

Several springs seep from the rocks about Sloquet Creek and flow along the ground before dropping over a short waterfall and forming a small pool which is too hot for bathing. Several other springs percolate from the ground, and volunteers have constructed small, natural-rock pools for bathing along the creek. The hotsprings are located about 62 miles south of Mt. Currie, near the Lillooet River and just northwest of Harrison Lake. Elevation is approximately 1000 ft I measured an elevation of only 240ft. Water temperature varies between 135 degrees and 155 degrees at the source.

Services: Few services are available in the are, though there is a logging camp at Port Douglas (also known as Tipella ), at the head of Harrison Lake. Primitive camping with no toilets or tables are located above the springs, about a 3 minute steep walk from the springs themselves. This is also where parking is.

Directions: From Whistler/Pemberton - Drive East along Highway 99, past the farmland and river to where the road turns uphill. There is a prominent road connecting on the south side of the road, marked "Lillooet Main/In-Shuck-Ch Forestry Service Road". Follow this south on the logging road along the Lillooet River to the second bridge that crosses the river to the west side. Cross Fire Creek, and go south to a turnoff to the west, doubling back north. This should be between posted kilometer markers 6 and 8. Follow this road (Sloquet FSR) past kilometer 9. The road will go up a sharp incline, and about 3/4 of the way up the hill an old road will branch to the left. If you reach the 10 marker you have gone too far. Follow the logging road until you reach an obvious clearing that can be used for camping. There is a trail leading downhill from the clearing to the creek and the hot springs. It will take two to three hours to drive from Mt. Currie. There are no posted rules or regulations for use of the site, but anything packed in should be packed out, including garbage.
