Hike to Halfway Hotsprings, or drive if the road is packed. The hike could be eleven km if you your 4X4 cannot make it. Whatever you decide, the trip is worth it. I actually have not been to the halfway hotsprings but have been to the St.Leon ones a little closer to the highway. Enjoy your exploration and treasures that British Columbia offers! The following pictures were taken by Jesse, my son, when he gathered a bunch of friends who were brave enough to sleep in the cold for a couple of nitghts.

After crossing the Arrow Lakes on the Galena Bay Ferry, for free, travel towards the village of Nakusp along Highway 6 until you reach Halfway Creek which just happens to be half the way to Nakusp from Galena Bay. Find a place to park along the FSR and grab your snowshoes and be prepared for a 11 km hike to Halfway Hotsprings. Of course if you choose to go in summer you can drive right to the Hot Springs.
