Harrison Lake is a beautiful freshwater lake 60 km in length The view of the lake from the town site is breathtaking. The temperature of the water is also breathtaking. Swimming is best enjoyed in the lagoon; a large pool of lake water that is separated from the main lake allowing it to warm up enough to be enjoyed throughout the summer.

Where are the Hot Springs? This is the most commonly asked question in Harrison. Of course there are Hot Springs here! They are reached by walking west on the raised sidewalk, that runs alongside the beach, past the Harrison Hot Springs Resort and onto a gravel road (the top of the dike). The Hot Springs is a short 5 minute walk past the Resort. The source of the hot water is surrounded by a cement structure and swimming is not permitted at this location (the water is far too hot). The Hot Springs water is pumped from the source to the indoor public pool in the centre of the village and, into the many pools located within the Harrison Hot Springs Resort.
