About this site

Source

Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park holds the second largest hot spring in Canada, and easing into the Alpha pool, 42 to 52 degrees, is the whole point of stopping. A boardwalk crosses a warm-water swamp and boreal spruce forest to reach the pools, a setting of national ecological significance.

The campground lists about 53 sites, a mix of reservable and first come, first served, and it is open year-round; winter soaking among frosted trees is its own reward. In summer the campground fills early each day, so build that into the plan. A change house and composting toilet serve the pools.

Fuel is about a kilometre away at the lodge; the park is a classic overnight for Alaska Highway travellers.
