Weewanie Hot Springs Provincial Park

Weewanie Hot Springs Provincial Park is a remote boat-access park on British Columbia’s North Coast, on the east bank of Devastation Channel in the Gardner Canal region south of Kitimat. It preserves thermal springs long known to the Haisla, who used them for hygiene, medicine, ritual, and recreation. The park’s name comes from nearby Weewanie Creek, adapted from a Haisla word meaning “many creeks.” Baths at the springs were built by A.A. Creed of the Kitimat Yacht Club for travellers, and the provincial government later protected the area as a preserve. In May 2004, it was formally established as a Class A provincial park.
