Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. It is home to the second largest natural hot springs in Canada, after Deer River Hot Springs 15 km to the northeast. It is a natural river of hot water rather than a spring-fed man-made pool. The park is part of the larger Muskwa-Kechika Management Area. The community of Liard River, British Columbia is located nearby at milepost 499.
Insider tip — Wood bison, bears, and moose come to the edges of the springs — keep an eye on your surroundings from the pools!
