What to do and see in Harrison Hot Springs, Canada: The Best Nature & Parks
Harrison Hot Springs is a favorite getaway destination because it’s a lakeside resort atmosphere only two hours from Vancouver, yet it feels like you’re much further away. You’ve got a gorgeous drive through the Fraser Valley to get there, especially if you take the slower and pastoral Hwy 7. You’ve got the charming village of Harrison Hot Springs along the south shore of Harrison Lake with its beaches and promenades, and there are hot springs to enjoy, provincial parks to explore, and mountainous scenery galore.

This a great place to spend a day with children. I have taken my grandchildren several times and it's always a good day. Pack a picnic This park has the feeling of being in a wilderness setting removed from any frills enabling one to reconnect with nature. There is a very pleasant walking trail around the lake which takes about an hour and a half. Long enough for the kids to get some exercise but short enough that they enjoy the walk. Afterwards you can spend a few hours at the beach area where there are picnic tables and the kids can get their fill of fun in the water. On the way back you may want to stop at the Greenpoint picnic area on Harrison Lake. It's a beautiful spot but the water is cold. Then it's on to the town of Harrison Hot Springs where you find a variety of places to eat something before heading home.

Great for family picnics. Beach area and boat launch. Soak up the sun and scenery. We were there earlier in the day so it hadn't gotten super busy yet. Day area with picnic benches, washrooms, and grassy field.

well indicated paths, some masks put on trees by local artist, great walk in the woods, see lots of different flora and amazing pics to be had. so relaxing, be aware that dogs are not a on a leash... and that there could be wild animals about. so be cognizant of your surroundings.

We were staying overnight at a B&B on this trip so Sharon said she would like to visit the "Public Pool" Very reasonable entrance fee and towels and lockers can be rented if needed. Large facility with spacious and clean change rooms. This is a hot spring fed public pool so the water was hot to enter. Very few people in attendance. Very pleasant and we enjoyed out visit. previously, we have contemplated booking a room at the hotel to use their hot springs but now I have experience the public pool I will visit it agaion and save myself some money.
