Harrison
Hot Springs
The
friendly vacation town of Harrison Hot Springs, British
Columbia, is located at the south end of Harrison Lake,
a beautiful warm 60km (37mi) long lake ideal for boating,
sailing and swimming.
According
to history, the hot springs were discovered in 1859 when
paddlers capsized in winter and realized that the lake water
was warm. There are two hot springs on the shore of Harrison
Lake making it a very popular resort and health spa with
people from all corners of the globe.
The
Harrison Hot Springs area is also known as the home of the
legendary Sasquatch, a very elusive, giant apelike creature.
Harrison
Hot Springs is an ideal holiday spot with hot springs, top
quality accommodations, unique and interesting shops, restaurants
and dining facilities, and a wide array of recreational
outdoor adventures.
