Currently owned by the Lower Kootenay Indian Band, Ainsworth Hot Springs has been used for centuries as a place for healing. After battle, warriors would soak in the spirit waters to ease the wounds sustained in the fight to defend this beautiful territory.
George Ainsworth became the first white man to own Ainsworth Hot Springs in 1882, and the first commercial pool (cost 10 cents per swim) was completed in the early 1930’s.
The latest renovations to the Ainsworth Hot Springs Resort were finished in 2012, with the pool and limestone caves drawing thousands of visitors each year. The facility also includes rooms, a restaurant and the Spirit Waters Spa.
Ainsworth Hot Springs are nestled in the Kootenay region, overlooking the majestic Kootenay Lake.
