Choquette Hot Springs Provincial Park

Choquette Hot Springs Provincial Park protects a remote geothermal area in British Columbia’s Stikine Country within the traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nation. Established on January 25, 2001, the park preserves the officially named Stikine River Hot Springs, the largest hot springs on the Canadian side of the lower Stikine River. More than 15 outlets rise from granitic rock and valley-floor mud, with some submerged at high tide and others remaining exposed. Their waters are unusually odourless, tasteless, and low in minerals. Accessible only by boat or helicopter, this largely undeveloped landscape is valued chiefly for safeguarding an uncommon hot spring system in a wild river setting.
