Relax at Ainsworth Hot Springs
A visit to Ainsworth Hot Springs is one of the most memorable experiences in the Kootenays and an easy adventure while staying at Cedar Point RV Resort & Marina.
Located on the west shore of Kootenay Lake, Ainsworth Hot Springs is famous for its naturally heated mineral pools and unique underground cave. Warm, soothing waters flow through a tunnel carved into the rock, creating a one-of-a-kind spa experience surrounded by mountain and forest scenery.
The large outdoor pool offers beautiful lake views, making it perfect for relaxing after a day of hiking or sightseeing.
The drive from Cedar Point to Ainsworth Hot Springs takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, including a scenic ferry crossing from Crawford Bay to Balfour. The journey itself is part of the adventure, with stunning lake views and a peaceful ride across Kootenay Lake before continuing north to the hot springs.
After soaking, visitors can enjoy a meal at the on-site restaurant or explore the nearby village of Ainsworth before heading back to Cedar Point to unwind by the water. It’s an ideal half-day or full-day outing that combines relaxation, nature, and classic Kootenay charm.
