About

K’lgaan/Klekane Conservancy is located on the east side of Princess Royal Channel, along the Inside Passage route. Klekane Conservancy shares its south and east boundaries with adjacent Q’altanaas/Aaltanhash Conservancy. This conservancy protects grizzly bears, salmon and marbled murrelets and low elevation Sitka spruce forests. It also provides a protected anchorage adjacent to the main Inside Passage route where visitors can spend a night to rest, fish or soak in a small hot springs. A bath house (8 ft x 12 ft) with a concrete block pool (8 ft x 8 ft) is available so that park visitors may enjoy soaking in the warm and odorless hot springs water. The hot springs water comes out of a crevice in the granodiorite bedrock about 150 metres away from the bath house. It flows out at a rate of about 10.4 litres per minute. Water temperature at the source is about 53.2 degrees Celsius and about 41.3 degrees Celsius in the bath house. The hot springs bath house is located at the northeastern end of the estuary; about a five minute walk in at high tide and about 20 metres from a small stream. The hot springs water is not suitable for drinking.
