A visit to Clear Creek Hot Springs is as much about the drive as it is about the hot springs. The springs are accessible via a relatively short (54km) drive along the Harrison East and Clear Creek Forest Service Roads. The springs are a nice surprise at the end of a fun mountain drive. They are surrounded by an icy stream of snowmelt. Running between the two is a great way to cool off in the wilderness!
Ruth Larsen, wife of Henry Larsen, who made a fortune in logging, was the first to place tubs here in the 1950s. He was reportedly the third richest guy in British Columbia at the time. His wife worked as a gold prospector and was dubbed a “old hippie” by some (although others claimed she was “a bit crazy”). She constructed a home near the springs, on the first road up here, and a long-time visitor told us that her grave is someplace near the tubs in the bush. The first baths, large ancient wooden wine barrels fed by hoses cemented into the thermal springs in the rocks, were installed by Ruth. More people came to visit these springs after the road was restored by logging firms and after Ruth died, and they bought new tubs.
The cabin is no longer standing, but one of the original wooden tubs remains. There are two hot tub forms and one bathtub tucked in the rocks as well.
You’ll want to have a 4×4 (Recommended however many people make it in 2 wheel drive) to get to this destination, as there are many potholes, ruts, rocks, and during the rainy season, and (over)abundance of puddles and mud.
To get there: (Be cautious as there are often logging trucks traveling along with East Harrison)
Take a drive up the East Harrison Forest Service Road until you reach Clear Creek Forest Service Road.
Approximately 11 km up Clear Creek FSR, you will arrive at Clear Creek Hot Springs on your right.
Walk along a short pathway made of logs, and you’ll find 3 hot tubs nestled in a beautiful old-growth forest.
The hot tubs and setup are more “rustic” than some of the other hot springs; and because it is one of the more accessible hot springs, it’s rare to have the area to yourself. But it’s still a great spot to sit back and soak while taking in the delightful forest and mountain views.

In this week’s video we are heading to The Home Of The Sasquatch! In search of a remote #hotspring deep in the wilds of #beautifulbritishcolumbia
Harrison Hot Springs is a #hotbed for all things Sasquatch, but how did this come to be? People have always had a fascination with #mysteries surrounding the legend of Sasquatch and frequent the area in hopes of someday catching a glimpse of the #mystifyingcreature
#history
The Harrison and #chehalis region is located on the territory of the Sts’ailes #firstnation whose experience with the #elusive #beast date back thousands of years. The very word ‘Sasquatch’ is thought to be a mispronunciation from the #stsailes word ‘Sasq’ets,’ meaning #hairyman
Local #lore says the Sasquatch hold a reunion every four years beginning on the night of the #fullmoon in July at the Mystery Valley caves located on the west side of Harrison Lake. For four consecutive nights, the Sasquatch meet, creating fires to signal their return.
FYI- I’ve had this video for a few years now and have never got around to uploading it, if you’re wondering how we went back in time! 😉

This is a true Canadian hot tub experience! 🌲 These outdoor hot springs are a bit of a journey to reach, but if your vehicle is 4x4 capable and you have some patience, you can make the trek out to Clear Creek and find an array of hot tubs nestled in the forest.

This is a favourite spot of mine, well worth the bumpy and rugged drive up the mountain!
