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.
ph: 250 776-7000
access to campsite reservations
User Fees
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 payments also contribute to the park’s upkeep expenses, which are elevated due to environmental variations and heavy usage. At the park, all fees must be paid in cash.
Reservations for campsites must be made by Discover Camping. When no reservations are open, all campsites are first-come, first-served.

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.
I love this lady. Grateful for such a kind, hilarious, stubborn ass friend like you. ❤️

Liard Hot Springs, which is the second largest in Canada, is an iconic Alaska Highway stop and is the perfect way to relax after some long days of driving!
Here’s what you need to know before you visit!
💸 It costs $5 per person during peak season.
💧The public portion of the hot spring is called the Alpha Pool and while we normally prefer hot springs that aren’t as developed, they did an amazing job keeping a natural vibe here, while still offering amenities, like changing rooms and restrooms.
🌡 The temperature ranges from 42°C (107.6°F) to 52°C (126°F), with the left side of the pool being the coolest and the right side being the hottest (which felt VERY hot to us).
⏰ Don’t expect solitude here, but going early in the morning (it opens at 7 AM) will mean less people. We met some awesome people here and socializing in the hot spring was part of the fun!
🐻 Bears do live in the area and there is an electric fence you have to go through to get to the hot spring. Make sure to bring bear spray!
🌿 After soaking in the hot spring, check out the short Hanging Gardens Trail to see a waterfall!
🏕 They do have a campground here, but we didn’t personally stay here. The main campground has 53 campsites (some are reservable) for $26 CAD/night, which includes hot springs access, but we did see a bunch of RVs in an overflow camping parking lot across the road from the park entrance.
Will never get enough of liardriverhotsprings

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

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!
A two-lane tour through a state of mind… Mine and Connie’s pilgrimage through the North took us up the Alaska Highway (37) until we reached Watson Lake, YT before eventually soaking in the spoils of Liard River Hot Springs, BC. #BeautifulBC #LiardRiverHotSprings #Connie #Akita #SignPostForest #WatsonLakeYukon #SwitchedOff #Unplugged #TruckCamping
Liard River Hotsprings.
I was hoping for Northern Lights while up at Liard, but I guess this will do.
Have you ever seen the Northern Lights?
Travelled from Mile Zero to Mile 475 just to take a warm bath.

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.
Welcome to North Seas Photography. We are two people named Court that fell in love ten years ago, and in this day and age that’s a long time! We are proud of each others accomplishments with photography, and this year we start our professional photography journey together.

Follow a wooden boardwalk path through a warm-water swamp and boreal forest to soak in Canada’s second largest hot springs. Originally known as Tropical Valley for its lush terrain, Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park in British Columbia encompasses about eight pools, one of which is open to bathers. The thermal waters simmer between 108° and 126°F in the rustic public pool, making the park a popular rest stop for drivers on the nearby Alaska Highway. The hot springs draw people from all over the world.

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. 😍
Who else loves themselves a hot spring?

Liard River Hot Springs. We had heard this is a must stop along the Alaska Highway. Everyone was right. Spent a lovely couple of hours before continuing on drive. It's in very north British Columbia. Huge pool area reached via a boardwalk through the swamp. After our soak, we took the walk up farther to the hanging gardens, with waterfall. The pool itself is VERY hot at one end and cooler at other. #liardriverhotsprings #britishcolumbia #alaskahighway #hotwater #hotsprings
