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.

The day-use fee is $5 for adults, $3 for youngsters, and $10 for families from April 1 to October 31.
Adult annual passes are $10, and family passes are $20.
Visitors must pay at the gatehouse, which also serves as a nearby visitor center. The funds will be used to expand programs and personnel presence.

The famous Liard River Hot Springs are the largest natural hot springs in Canada. Part of the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area, the springs are actually a naturally flowing river of warm, soothing water, rather than a spring fed, man-made pool. Photo: tomparkr

Ráno jsme si užili výbornou hotelovou snídani a krásně vyvonění a čistí jsme se vydali směrem na Muncho Lake, které bylo klasicky ještě zamrzlý! Ale měli tam super retro benzínku. Cesta vede krásně pořad podél jezera. Po cestě jsme taky viděli plno obrovských hoven a přemýšleli od koho jsou a pak najednou booooom buffalo! Prvně dva a z těch jsme byli hotový a pak pořad a dalších a stáda velký, no mazec. Nejlepší část dne byli Liard River hotsprings. Přírodní termální prameny a zadarmo. Krásně čistá a opravdu horká voda. Jó a už jsme projeli hranice a jsme v Yukonu, to byl taky důvod proč jsme 2 dny neměli signál. Protože úsek trasy vede jenom a jenom lesem a nic, nikde kolem. Dojeli jsme do Watson Lake, kde jsme dotankovali a šli se podívat k Sign Post Forest. To je sbírka asi 80 tisíc cedulí s názvy ulic, uvítacích cedulí a poznávacích značek z celého světa. První ceduli sem umístil v roce 1942 jeden voják, který tady sloužil a zároveň se zotavoval ze zranění. Aby si připomenul domov, umístil sem ceduli Danville 2835 miles. Jeho čin následovali pak především návštěvníci z celého světa. No a jelikož se nám tam na přespání moc nelíbilo, tak jsme jeli po trase dál a až se setmělo, tak jsme sjeli ze silnice na odpočívadlo. Spalo se tam, ale krásně. Toť šestý den naší výpravy. Už máme něco přes 2100 km

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!

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

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
