Harrison Hot Springs
The closest mineral soak to Vancouver — but the village’s public pool is closed for renovations.
Ninety minutes east of Vancouver at the foot of Harrison Lake, Harrison Hot Springs is BC’s most accessible hot springs town. Two source springs — Potash (~40°C) and Sulphur (~62–65°C) — are pumped and cooled to feed the village’s pools: five at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort (two indoor, three outdoor) for registered guests, plus the indoor public Harrison Mineral Baths at Hot Springs Road and Esplanade Avenue.
That public pool is the catch right now. The Agassiz-Harrison Observer reported that as of April 27, 2026 it was ‘temporarily closed for renovations until further notice,’ and we have found no reopening announcement since. The resort says it offers usage rates for its own pools in the meantime — call 604-796-2244 (ext. 5) to confirm before you drive out. The lakefront beach, restaurants and easy trails still make it a pleasant day trip.
