Fun Facts:
Analysis of the hot springs indicates that there are 8 different minerals: potassium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, calcium sulphate, calcium bi-carbonate, iron bi-carbonate and sulphurated hydrogen.

Harrison Hot Springs Resort boasts two indoor and three outdoor mineral pools.

- Two outdoor pools have been built in a setting complete with cascading waterfall, rock formations and plants to simulate a typical West Coast setting.
- In the outside adult sitting pool, the hot spring waters are piped from the source and cooled to 32-35 degrees C (90-95 degrees F).
- The larger outside family pool is also kept at 35 degrees C (95 degrees F) and has a gently sloping ramp for those who prefer to walk into the pool. The deck is a non-slip, frost-proof clay tile that is heated by hot water tubing.
