About

Shearwater Hot Springs (also known as Europa Hot Springs) Conservancy is located along the north side of Alan Reach in Gardner Canal, on the north side of a small bay between Shearwater Point and Europa Point. It protects a popular marine hot springs and sheltered boat anchorage site along Gardner Canal. There are no roads or trails in this conservancy.

Local boaters and fishermen commonly stop at Shearwater Hot Springs for hot springs soaking, safe anchorage, picnics and camping.

A bath house is provided so that park visitors may enjoy soaking in the warm and odorless hot springs water. The hot springs water comes out of the ground from cracks in the bedrock at the bottom of the hot springs pool. It flows out at a rate of about 7.1 litres per minute. Water temperature at the source and in the bath house pool is about 40.6 degrees Celsius.
