Harrison Hot Springs Resort – British Columbia, Canada

Harrison Hot Springs Resort is situated on the shoreline of Harrison Lake in British Columbia, Canada, 90 miles east of Vancouver and less than three hours north of Seattle. It features a handful of thermal spring pools, a spa, dining on-site, plus overnight accommodations.
