It's been several years since I've been to Hotsprings Cove, but we stayed at the campground at Maquinna Provincial Marine Park. This worked for us as we were heading back to Toffino after being out for almost two weeks, and it was a nice way to slowly get reitroduced back into civilization. That, and we had an injured paddler for whom we needed to get transportation back to Toffino. There is a hike from the campground to the hotsprings which goes for some distance through the forest, a large portion of which is along a cedar shingled walkway. Over the years Mariners who have visited this place have carved their names and the date that they visited into the shingles along the path. Many of these carvings are quite ornate works of art in their own rite. I enjoyed viewing the carvings along the walkway almost as much as I enjoyed the hotsprings themselves. But like I said, it's been quite a few years since I've been out there and I'm sure others on the list will have more up to date info.
