Prophet River Hotsprings Provincial Park is located along the shores of the Prophet River. This wilderness park, accessible by hiking, horse or helicopter, is surrounded by the Eastern Muskwa Ranges and protects locally significant hotsprings. The tufa mound created by mineral deposits from the springs is surrounded on one side by stands of black spruce that thin out to the alpine of the surrounding mountains. Adventurous visitors to this park will be rewarded with scenic vistas and wonderful wildlife viewing opportunities.
