Private Property
Property boundaries are constantly changing, and it would be impossible for us to continually check every single entry we have listed on our web site. Adventure respectfully, and responsibly; check land ownership prior to departing! This is a free online resource, and you assume all liability and risk for using the information on our web site.
Permission from a land owner is almost always required unless the location is on crown or public land, or signage stating otherwise is posted. There is no "right to roam" in Canada. Just because a springs exists, does not mean it is necessarily open for public use!
Native bands have become increasingly energetic about prohibiting unauthorized non-band members. This is likely due to abuse of the sites and surrounding areas. If you do obtain permission from a land owner, always treat the location with respect. Leave it in the same condition as when you arrived.
Use iMapBC and adventure SMART!

Here's an example from Peachland. If you'd like to contact the owner, title searches can be done relatively cheaply via Land Titles BC online using the PID number from iMapBC.
