Harrison Hot Springs travel guide: The weekend getaway
Read the blog post!
Welcome to Harrison Hot Springs. This quiet little resort town is perfect for enjoying time on the water, in the water, in the forest, or straight up relaxing.
Harrison Hot Springs is especially convenient for Vancouverities. It’s only an hour and a half from the city, and you get the relaxing, island vibe without ever having to take a ferry.
Our journey begins right here where I’m staying, at the Harrison Hot springs resort. There’s not a whole lot of places to stay in town - and I gotta say, if you’re coming here, this looks like THE place to be in town. With the option of lakeside views and entrance to the famed hot springs included in the price of your stay, it makes for a pretty sweet getaway.
I also learned once we were there that being on their mailing list can score you a really good deal. It sounds like they only email them out about 3 or 4 times a year, but prices are great and can include perks like a free breakfast. So maybe I’ll get in on this next time - now that I know about it!
NOTE: The main hotel building has no air conditioning. You can stay in the East or West towers for air conditioned rooms.
The resort has 5 pools which are fed from the spring's source. The pools have varying temperatures.
The Coast Salish peoples had known about the springs for years. They thought the water had supernatural or spiritual powers. Non-native people only stumbled across the springs hundreds of years after their existence was known by the Coast Salish.
Legend has it that a boat full of gold rush miners capsized during a winter storm. Instead of plunging into cold water, they pleasantly found warm water! Harrison Hot Springs became a destination for those looking to relax - and cure a whole bunch of maladies, from paralysis to diabetes. These waters may be restorative, but expecting this is a bit ambitious!
Food: One note before you do get into town - grocery options are limited, so stop to shop at Aggasiz before getting here.
Hick Lake Loop - 6 KM trail
Hicks Lake itself is beautiful. The trail, though, is a bit odd. About half of trail has been turned into a gravel road, thanks to the hydro company. We even found a park ranger to ask if there was another trail we were missing, but nope - we were on it!
The other half around the lake is a more typical trail. It's an easy hike for the most part - but there are about 10 or so spots which are pretty dodgy. We're talking broken bridges, slippery mud flats with no stable footing across it, that kinda thing. If that doesn't sound good to you, maybe just enjoy the beaches.
There few beaches on this lake which have spectacular scenery. Some are the large ones are easily accessible, and there's a few great spots off the trail as well.
The lake is in Sasquatch Provincial Park, and you can even go camping and fishing here. They stock the lake each year with about 1000 rainbow trout, and you’re free to fish providing you’ve got a fishing license - which you can easily apply for online.
We didn’t need to stay here for the night, but we did enjoy a cinnamon bun which we brought with us from Chuck and Kitty’s Country Cafe - where we came across Chuck himself! Cinnamon buns may not be traditional hiking food, but I think I could start a trend!
For dinner, got one of the best seats in the whole town! Well, at least as close to the ocean as you could get. We got a delicious dinner the Hungry Chef Eatery and took it to the picnic tables out at Rendall Park at the far end of the village. A perfect way to watch the sun set before heading back to hot spring pools.
Whippoorwill Point
This morning we took the Whippoorwill Point and Sand Cove beach trail, which conveniently starts right by the resort. As you head to the start of the trail, you’ll also walk past the source of the spring and the 145degree Fareinheight water. You can’t get inside, but we did see some people soaking in the relaxing, yet distinctly sulphurous-smelling, mineral water mixed with lake water in a small stream beside it.

WEEKEND IN HARRISION HOT SPRINGS, BC!
If you ever need a weekend getaway.... Harrison Hot Springs is the spot! Luckily, I was able to snag and spot and go on a trip with my pal Tamara and her lovely friends.
If you can't afford the hot springs in the resort than just go to their public pool which uses hot spring water as well! It was SOOOOO relaxing and zen.

Thanks to the owners making me and my kids' first camping really gorgeous. Only 1 tent space available but they allowed us to put 2 tents ( we are 2 families ) and even charged for 1 with a request to park 1 car outside. JUST on the lake walk to beach and restaurants really handy place. It's a great atmosphere there. I will recommend everyone try that place if you can get a spot there. - Kanwar R.

Harrison Lake Awareness PSA
Gary Duong (25) and Daniel Reid (23) were both very strong swimmers. On one of the hottest days in 2015, they died in the cold waters of Harrison Lake, where they were swimming. They were unaware of its dangerously cold temperatures, strong currents, and the unpredictable sudden winds which can turn a flat surface of water into a small craft warning in a matter of seconds. Visitors to this lake must become aware of these risks. Gary and Daniel can't speak now so we are speaking for them in hopes that future deaths will be prevented on this very beautiful but deadly body of water.

I was reluctant to stay at Glencoe at first because it didn't look that appealing from the outside. Unfortunately, I had no choice because I couldn't book a second night at the Harrison Resort. I admit I judged a book by it's cover because my room was NICER THAN EVER! I would say it was comparable to my room at the resort.
Heads up! The rooms look better in person than it does on the website. Would definitely recommend. - Boaz C.
