Skookumchuck Hot Springs, near the First Nation community of Skookumchuck (the name on older maps) and more recently as Skatin ("ska-TEEN") is on the historic Harrison Lillooet Gold Rush trail in the Lillooet River valley, south of Lillooet Lake, in British Columbia, Canada. The hot springs themselves, named Tsek in the St'at'imcets language (pronounced "chick") were on private property purchased from Goodwin Purcell family by the Tretheway family after his death in the 1909 and acquired by the Government of Canada in 2008 to be held in trust for the local aboriginal people until a potential treaty settlement.
