all things sunshine and flowers.

Boredom and kids just don't mix. We have a bunch of ideas to keep everyone entertained starting with our soothing hot springs pools. Get a trail walk in, head down to the Village and explore our restaurants, shops and art gallery, see the Sasquatch Museum located at the Visitor Centre, enjoy a boating adventure with Shoreline Tours or Harrison Eco Tours, and explore our Circle Farm stops. (Please check each Circle Farm Tour partner's website for opening dates.)
EXPERIENCE OUR CIRCLE FARM TOUR
Tour a wonderful mix of things to see, do, smell, and taste!
Farmhouse Natural Cheeses: farm-fresh artisan cheeses and specialties made right at the farm. Kids can see and pet the sweet animals, too!
Back Porch Coffee Roastery: See the pottery & basketry studio, watch coffee being roasted in a circa 1919 Flame Roaster, head to the barn for antiques, collectibles and décor items.
Kilby Historic Site: Experience a 1920's living historic site with costumed interpreters including a 1906 General Store Museum, Manchester House and Hotel, and Post Office. Pet animals and enjoy activities!
Country Road Ride - A 26-km ride, taking you from Harrison Hot Springs to the Agassiz farmlands as you bike by farms, corn fields, hazelnut orchards, cows, sheep, and, even, the odd donkey.

Easter Luncheon at Kilby - Hop down to Kilby Historic Site from April 20th and 21st! Menu features traditional Roast Turkey Dinner, complete with all the trimmings, veggies, beverage, and dessert. Due to this event's popularity, reservations are recommended.

Harrison Hot Springs is far enough away to feel away from it all,
but only a scenic 1.5-hour drive from Vancouver.
Love the journey as much as the visit.

A new year is upon us! The start of a cycle brings refreshed energy. Perhaps you've decided to pursue a passion project, focus on your health, take more quality 'me' time, or spend time outdoors.
We have a few ideas to help kickstart 2019!
Harrison's Healing Nature Will Renew and Refresh
REJUVENATE: Take a forest or cultural walk.
Spirit Trail: A short easy 20-minute, marked by clay masks.
Spirit Trail Loop: A moderate 2-hour walk through Lower Bear Mountain consisting of forest, wetlands, cliffs. This closed loop is home to a wide variety of wildlife.
Heritage Walk: An easy 90-minute walk. Learn about Harrison's history as you explore historical buildings and landmarks. Download our map. Be sure to stop by the Sasquatch Museum and learn about the footprint of this mythical creature!
LAKESIDE TIME: Sit in silence
Grab your favourite warm beverage and take in the calming views of Harrison Lake and its surrounding mountains.
BALANCE: Adventure and Relaxation
Get your family ready for a fun day-trip! Grab your skis or snowboard and head to Sasquatch Mountain Resort or take a (covered) jetted boat tour with Harrison Eco Tours, ending the day with a hot springs soak or dinner at one of our awesome restaurants like Milos Greek Taverna and Black Forest, complete with heated, covered patios.
