Liard River Hotsprings - British Columbia
Historical Milepost 497 on the Alaska Highway

The Liard Hotspring is located within a provincial park; the park entrance is at map coordinates N59 25 28.8 W126 06 14.0. 

The springs are not overly developed and provide a spot to soak.  The park has a large campground with sites without hookups.  Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. These springs are some of our fovrities.

In early 2013, the change rooms and deck were updated at the Alpha pool.
See more images from our March 2013 visit and camping trip.

Beta Pool, Liard Hotsprings, B.C.
This was the Beta pool in July 2008.  It closed later due to a bear problem.

Alpha pool has a wide variety of soaking temperatures.  As you enter the pool, the right side is warmer than to the left.  The hot spring water enters on the far right and moves through the pool and then tumbles over a manmade water-barrier.  The water is much cooler on the left side of the barrier.  If you wade towards the end of this left side there are some refreshing cold springs.

There are also pesky creatures in the area.
