Lime Cliffs Spring

## Overview Lime Cliffs Spring is a public drinking spring located in the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District of British Columbia, Canada. Situated at approximately 50.962°N, 119.022°W, this spring lies within the rugged and scenic terrain of the Columbia-Shuswap C electoral area — a region known for its dramatic limestone formations, pristine waterways, and vast stretches of backcountry wilderness between the Shuswap Lake corridor and the Columbia River valley. The name "Lime Cliffs" suggests a geological connection to the limestone and carbonate rock formations common in this part of the Interior Plateau and Columbia Mountains. Springs emerging from limestone terrain are often naturally filtered through layers of sedimentary rock, and historically such sources have been valued by travelers and local communities as reliable water sources. While the water from Lime Cliffs Spring has historically been used as a public drinking water source, visitors should be aware that natural spring water quality can vary with seasonal conditions and should exercise their own discretion. ## What to Expect Lime Cliffs Spring is located in a relatively remote area of the Columbia-Shuswap region. The surrounding landscape is characterized by forested hillsides, exposed rock faces, and the kind of quiet, undeveloped backcountry that defines much of interior British Columbia. Visitors should be prepared for variable road conditions, particularly during spring snowmelt and late fall when weather can change quickly at these elevations. The spring is classified as a public drinking spring, indicating it has been used by the local community and passersby as a water source. The limestone geology of the area may impart a mild mineral character to the water, though no formal water quality testing data is currently available for this site. As with any backcountry destination in British Columbia, visitors should come prepared with appropriate supplies, sturdy footwear, and awareness of wildlife in the area. Cell service may be limited or unavailable in this part of the Columbia-Shuswap. The GPS coordinates (50.9621, -119.0225) can be used with offline mapping apps to help locate the spring.
