Meager		 Meager Creek Hotsprings
Pemberton, BC

To reach Meager creek hot springs I have to assume you know where the ski resort of Whistler is. After Whistler heading north on Hwy. 99 you will come to the town of Pemberton. At the T junction of Pemberton you have to turn left at the Petro-Can gas station and head into Pemberton proper, over the railway tracks and into town. Here you will find another T junction with an ESSO gas station on the left side a Deli on the right and a bank straight ahead. This is where you Zero your Odometer.

Services: Camping at the Campground is $10/night which includes one person access to Meager hot springs. If you have others with you they will still have to pay for hot spring access $5/day.

Directions: Turn right at the ESSO station (last chance for gas) and follow the paved road for 22 km. (Part way along this road you will come to a intersection, t junction again, with a school on the left, turn left here). This 22 km. stretch is in the Pemberton valley famous for it's seed potatoes. At the 22 km. point you should happen upon a small sign on the right prompting you to turn right for Bralorne, Goldbridge and Meager creek H/s. (There is a large green electrical box on the left). Turning right here you will soon cross a bridge over the Lillooett river(1 km.), shortly the road turns to dirt and you begin your 40 km. of dirt road travel (zero odometer again). At 8.5 km. into the dirt road you come to a fork in the road, this is the turn off for Bralorne/Gold Bridge. Keep to the left for Meager ck. H/s. Some 26 km. further up this road you will come to the Upper Lillooett River Forestry Campsite, about 45 minutes from the fork in the road. A further .07 klm. from the campground is the left turn and final stretch to Meager H/s. You now have 7 bumpy km. to go to reach Meager H/s. Being stopped at the bridge over Upper Lilloett river to pay the fee $5/day use, per person. If they don't get you here they will find you at the hot springs.

Notes: As of this date(May 05/04) the bridge over Meager Creek is out, washed away. The provincial forestry has no plans of funding to repair/replace the bridge. Only way is if the Govt. the Geothermal research group and the logging companies can share in the costs.
