Feel like some windsurfing, parasailing, kayaking, or just kicking back and relaxing in the warm mineral springs? Harrison Hot Springs, just an hour and a half east of Vancouver on Harrison Lake, is one of Vancouver's great escapes.

On the edge of southwestern British Columbia's largest lake, with sandy beaches, mountain scenery, and natural mineral hot springs, Harrison looks and feels a lot like a European spa town. You can swim or go boating on the lake; enjoy beer and schnitzel at a chalet-style restaurant; or relax for a long soak in the hot springs pool.
