B.C. Orders Hobo Hot Spring Restoration After Public Access Block
Tuesday, May 27, 2025, 10:15 am
The British Columbia government has ordered an immediate restoration of Hobo Hot Spring after a newly erected fence blocked public access to the cherished natural pool. Officials are stepping in to remove the barrier and ensure locals can once again enjoy this free resource—hardly what nature intended for exclusive enclosure.
The spot, not far from the Harrison Resort, where natural hot water percolates up from the ground, had been built up with rocks and logs by the locals.
The British Columbia government has ordered the restoration of free natural hot spring pools that were mysteriously filled with dirt and boulders last fall.
The B.C. government launched an investigation into the damage to the free natural spring and Crown resource last October
