About Radium Hot Springs, BC
In the East Kootenay region, Radium Hot Springs (also known simply as Radium) is a small village found in the valley between two mountain ranges: the Purcell Mountains and the Canadian Rocky Mountains, with the Columbia River running through it. The community has approximately 1400 full-time residents, with more part-time residents who return in the warm summer months.
This area is named and known for the hot springs pools in the Kootenay National Park, found east of the village limits via Highway 93. There is an outdoor complex that contains a large hot (39°C) pool for soaking and another “cool pool” (29°C) pool for swimming, with a diving board, two slides, and a smaller cold “plunge pool.” All water is naturally geothermally heated. The springs were formed when the earth’s crust fractured along a 2 km-deep fault, where water seeps down, heats up, and is then pressurized and returned to the surface, and is colourless and odourless, making it one of British Columbia’s top natural hot springs locations.
In 2021 Radium was rated one of Canada’s top 20 friendliest towns by Expedia, calling it “a perfect spot to experience the great outdoors.” There is a sense of community throughout the village. With a lower cost of living than the Canadian average, beautiful surroundings, and an overall culture of openness and caring, there are plenty of reasons to want to live here.
