Frizzell Hotsprings
Frizzell Hotsprings is a hot spring on the south bank of the Skeena River, northeast of Hotspring Point, near Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada.[1]
Description
The hot spring water emerges from a series of vents, and forms a hot creek that flows to the river mudflats. There is a deep soaking tub large enough to fit several people.[1] The water temperature in the soaking pool is 41 °C/106 °F.[2] There is a small cabin and a hut near the soaking pool.[2]
This is private property and not to be used by the public. Trespassing is not allowed.
History
In the early 20th century there was a vibrant cannery town nearby, and Japanese fishermen would frequent the hot springs. In the 1920s, George Frizzell bought the property where the springs are located, and he built a bathhouse there.[1]
The hot springs are privately owned and visiting without owner permission is an actionable trespass.[citation needed]
