Located in the Fraser Valley on the shores of Harrison Lake, Harrison Hot Springs is only a 90-minute drive east from Vancouver, or less than three hours north of Seattle.
It is also a featured stop along various driving routes through the area.
Car Travel
Driving is by far the easiest way of reaching Harrison Hot Springs, either on Highway 1 (exit 135) or the more scenic, slower paced Highway 7 that winds through the countryside. Many travellers do one route to get to Harrison and the other for the return journey. While vehicle rentals are available in Vancouver, there are no car rental agencies in Harrison.
Air Travel
Arrivals to Vancouver International Airport (YVR) in Richmond or to Abbotsford International Airport are best advised to rent a car to reach Harrison. The latter airport is located 40 miles south west of Harrison Hot Springs.

Boat Travel

Getting Around
The easiest way to enjoy the region is by car. With country roads that are generally flat, biking is easy; bicycle and canopied quadra-cycle rentals are available in the Village Mall across from the public pool. Walking, especially around the small downtown core is highly recommended.
