As you ease into Canada’s second largest hot spring, relaxation pours into your body. After a hard day on the road, travellers traveling to Alaska can relax at Liard River Hot Springs.
The hot springs complex is noted for its natural setting in a lush boreal spruce forest, and it is of national ecological value. During the summer months, the park is such a popular tourist destination that the campground fills up early each day. Liard is also open throughout the year. Alpha Pool, a public hot spring with water temperatures ranging from 42°C to 52°C, is open to the public. A changing room and a composting toilet are available. A boardwalk that leads to the hot spring pools travels through a warm water swamp and boreal woodland, which are home to a broad range of plant groups as well as mammalian and avian species.
To avoid disturbing the vulnerable habitat, visitors must stay on the boardwalk at all times in this region. In the warm water wetlands, keep an eye out for moose eating. The area was formerly known as the “Tropical Valley” because of the rich plant life impacted by the springs’ warmth.
The tiny freshwater fish darting back and forth under the park’s wooden boardwalk are lake chub. Endemic to the park, these small fish are unique among North American minnows because they can survive in such warm water. the absolute number of Lake Chub in the Liard Hot Springs complex is not known but they are abundant and may number in the thousands.
Liard River Hot Springs is located on the Alaska Highway at kilometer 765, some 60 kilometers north of Muncho Lake Provincial Park.
Day of Inception: April 26, 1957
Size of the park: 1,082 hectares
Kootenay Forest Services Ltd. proudly operates this park.
For more information on the campground, contact Kootenay Forest Services at kootenayforestservices@gmail.com.

Have you ever seen the Northern Lights?
Travelled from Mile Zero to Mile 475 just to take a warm bath.

We drove 8h round trip from Fort Nelson to go to Liard River Hot Springs! I’ve been before, but it was in June. Ever since, I’ve been looking forward to returning in winter. A short boardwalk takes you to the hot springs, and on the cooler side, you can head downstream until the branches converge and you’re in the middle of this winter wonderland. The water in the main pool is around 40°C and the ambient air temperature was approximately -25°C. Definitely stop by if you’re ever on the Alaska Highway!
Have you ever visited a location after reading about it in a book?
Ever since reading Into The Wild in 6th grade I was enamored by Christopher McCandless. I dreamed of following his journey and making it to Alaska and seeing even a portion of the sights he saw. 4 years later I bought the book of his photographs from his camera that he carried along on his trip, which felt like an intrusion into his personal journey but I loved the personalness of it compared to the book written about him. Before moving down to Arizona, I decide to follow this dream and drive up to Alaska and follow some of the spots he hit along the way.
This will be a series as I visited around 5 specific spots that he stood, but here is my favorite part of the entire trip, Liard River Hot Springs. I LOVE taking my baths and I need them to be scalding and slightly painful before I am willing to get in and take one. Liard Hot Springs ended up being a sort of choose your own adventure of taking a hot bath. If you choose to relax away from the source the water is nice and warm, and then if you choose to go closer to the source it gets to be very, very hot. This is one of the points of the trip that I am constantly thinking back to, wishing I could just live close so I could come and relax here all the time.
Liard Hotsprings, BC, Canada 🇨🇦
The stop on Alaska Highway you should never miss ♨️
Если вы едете на Аляску через Канаду по Alaska Highway, то горячие источники Лиард – это то, что нельзя пропускать ♨️😌
После долгого путешествия было абсолютным кайфом посидеть в природном бассейне с горячей минеральной водой.
Если вы хотите остаться в кэмпграунде на ночь, стоимость 28 канадских $ с машины (в зимний сезон $18). Посещение горячих источников $5 с человека (бесплатно в зимний сезон до 1 мая). Небольшая деталь – тут есть туалеты и раздевалки, но нет душей с проточной водой.

Feb 2020 at Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park. We took a 4h (each way from Fort Nelson) drive to visit the hot springs in -30C weather. Absolutely worth the slight white-knuckled drive for this winter wonderland.
Leaving the hot spring was the hardest part... It’s hard to convince your body to leave 30C+ water when you KNOW it’s -30C outside 😂 A lot of self pep talk had to happen, and I don’t think I’ve ever gotten changed as fast in my life.
Have you ever seen a bison?

Liard Hot Spring was my one must-do while traveling through Canada, and it did not disappoint! A little campsite sits next to the short quarter-mile board walk out to the springs. If you want to camp there, I recommend booking early.
Things to note about the springs:
-It’s the second largest hot springs in BC
-We were there by 7am and it filled up with people early
-It’s bear country, so be aware
-There is a small day-use fee, so bring cash (unless you camp at the site, then it’s included)
-Changing rooms and pit toilets are at the springs
-No dogs are allowed
-No glass bottles or bug spray
-No drones

This was an absolute dream come true.
Sitting in an all natural hot spring in the fall catching a sunset. I could have spent hours on hours in here. Total relaxation mode.
More about this beautiful place be coming up this weekend in my blog 👌🍂🍁
This was third time I've been in one and they fascinate me and feel so good for the mind and body all in one. I love my baths but they do not come close to this. 🙏
First time was in Peru when hiking to Machu Picchu. Second was in Costa Rica outside of La Fortuna & third was well HERE in the homeland of Canada. Canada sure is a beautiful country. 😍

Hot Springs in liard river, Canada
#canada🇨🇦 #hotsprings #AKtoGA #liardriverhotsprings #travel #moving #crosscountry
28SEP: By the time you reach Liard Hot Springs whether driving north or south, it’s hard not to stop for a break. I had soaked at a hot springs located in the last sizeable city on the road, which was Whitehorse … only 7-8 hours further back. If you keep driving south, it’s another 8 hours before you reach another sizeable town, and at least 14 hours before getting to a mid-size city.
Soaking in this river of hot water was definitely a welcome reprieve from the road, and marveled over the ecologically unique plant life that results from the unusually warm swamp for an area this far north. I did not see any large animals while I was here, but still enjoyed the boardwalk stroll over the warm swamp surrounded by golden trees and mountains before relaxing in a more refined steamy pool that feels hidden from the rest of the world.
Scalding hot water pours into the head of the pool from a small creek while colder water seems to fill the pool from another location. You could soak in this pool for hours without overheating as you can move closer to the natural heat source when you want more thermal goodness, and move further away to cool off in water that could be up to 20 degrees cooler. In some areas of the pool, the temperature difference could be a bit much though with my feet in cold water and my shoulders in steamy, hot water. Nonetheless, this is a truly delightful and worthwhile stop if you’re traveling through the far northern reaches of British Columbia.
