Harrison Hot Springs

 beach, village, spa town

Small resort community with natural hot springs. There is a public pool, and a pool at the resort. Each autumn it hosts Harrisand, the World Championships of Sand Sculpture. Or at least it used to: There was no competition in 2009, so 2008 may well have been the last. But you can still see lots of sand sculpture photos from years past in the village shops as well as on Panoramio and other photo sites.

Harrison Lake and Hot Springs, located in the Fraser Valley, are at the gateway of the Fraser Canyon. Harrison Lake is southwestern BC's largest lake at 70 km long. In the community of Harrison, there are many things to do. The number one thing to do is visit the Hot Springs. The native people used the natural mineral-rich hot springs for healing purposes. The Springs were not otherwise discovered until the mid 1800's in the Gold Rush! Other activities in Harrison include boating, wind surfing, hiking, swimming, and more!
