HARRISON HISTORY

Quick

•W hen gold was first discovered on the Fraser in 1858, there was an explosion of activity with miners from around the world racing to B.C. to find their fortunes.

•T he Potash spring has a temperature of 40˚C (120˚F) and the Sulphur spring is 65˚C (150˚F). View the source by walking along the west side of the lake.

•H arrison Hot Springs is a mecca for musicians and artists, who flock to the area each year for the Harrison Festival of the Arts.

•A s there were no roads into the interior, the first and only route to the gold fields was by sternwheeler up the Fraser and Harrison Rivers, up Harrison Lake to the newly established town of Port Douglas.

Disembarking there, miners faced a long and arduous journey over 162 km (100 miles) of rough tracks and more lakes to Lillooet.

•W hen the Cariboo road was built in 1863 through the Fraser Canyon to Barkerville, this difficult water route was eventually abandoned. Although the gold rush faded, Harrison Hot Springs continues to flourish!

Surrounded by rivers and lakes, Harrison Hot Springs offers exceptional fishing opportunities. Reel in a prehistoric giant like our local sturgeon or get hooked on flyfishing for steelhead and salmon.

Harrison Lake Found at the southern end of the 60km long, glacier-fed Harrison Lake, the Village is a water lover’s paradise.

With a public boat launch, complete with restroom and sani-station, several marinas and a large public dock, boating here is a breeze.

BOAT TOUR Sit back and let others do the navigating. Shoreline Tours operates the Laroan — a 56 ft. boat that provides scenic tours on the lake, and Harrison River. Harrison Eco Tours operates jet boat tours as well as guided kayak tours on the Harrison River. shorelinetours.ca • harrisonecotours.com

Quick FACTS

HARRISON HOT SPRINGS

Weather and water conditions play a big role in your safety on the water. Before heading out on the lake, make sure you get the latest forecast. You should also be aware that Harrison Lake is known for its unpredictable weather conditions and like many other Canadian lakes, water temperatures can be very cold particularly in the spring.

The effects of cold water immersion are not to be ignored and wearing a PFD is absolutely essential.

If you wish to do some recreational boating or participate in the many water sports, please make sure you have knowledge of boating safety, practices and behaviors before you embark on these activities. For more information on water safety and drowning prevention, please visit: BC Yukon Lifesaving Society at www.lifesaving.bc.ca

MORE FUN ON THE

Water HARRISON LAKE is much longer than it appears when you look at it from Harrison Hot Springs. At 60 kilometres long, it covers over 250 square kms. While it is now a freshwater lake, thousands of years ago it was not a lake at all, but an arm of the sea. It varies in depth from just a few feet to a maximum depth of 279 m.

(916 ft.). It supports a rich bio-diversity of both seasonal and permanent animal species including: Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, Pink, Chum, Coho, Sockeye, and Chinook Salmon, Sturgeon, Harbor Seals, Canadian Geese, Great Blue Heron, and too many different types of waterfowl to list.

While the Lillooet River is the main waterway flowing into the lake, the lake also receives a constant supply of cold clear water from Mount Breckenridge glacier. The lake can be cold particularly in spring although in August it offers a refreshing swim. As well, storms can make the lake a dangerous place to be, so exercise caution and common sense when boating or paddling.

SWIMMING

Jump in for a refreshing dip in our glacier-fed lake or the warmer Harrison lagoon and Hicks Lake in Sasquatch Provincial Park.

PADDLING

For a relatively safe adventure, canoe the Miami River through the Village or head to Hicks Lake. The Harrison River is an incredible outdoor wilderness trip that takes you past stunning scenery.

Forest Bathing TRY

Ya Doma Nature and Forest Therapy

Ya Doma is a research-based framework supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments.

Forest Therapy is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, which translates to Forest Bathing.

Yadomaforesttherapy@gmail.com 604-378-0369

Developed in Japan Shinrin-yoku means “taking in the forest atmosphere” or “forest bathing.” It is based on the notion that time spent in nature is very healing not only on a spiritual basis but also physically. Scientific studies have shown that many trees give off organic compounds that support our immune system.

So take a break from city stress and strain and try forest bathing in the serene and healing forests that surround Harrison.

HARRISON HOT SPRINGS

The perfect place to Walk, Run, Hike or Bike.

THE VILLAGE OF

Harrison HOT SPRINGS

If you’re the type to be inspired by nature, welcome to paradise. Every hill and valley, every trail and shoreline, is waiting to be discovered here.

But there are a few things you should know before heading into the great outdoors. The Harrison Hikers have been meeting weekly for the past 20 years. Each week, they set out on various levels of hikes, from easy walks along dike systems to advanced treks into the woods.

“It’s the magnificent scenery that makes Harrison Hot Springs such a special place to visit. The best way to appreciate its beauty is to walk or hike on the many trails in and around the Village, and soon your senses will be on overload.”

— Hiker, Señior Ken

GO FOR A WALK

A walk around our lagoon is a good place to start. Other pleasant walks include the Heritage Walk past the older buildings in town and the Miami Bridges Walk through an old-growth cedar forest.

GO FOR A WINTER WALK

Harrison is close to two familyfriendly hills, Sasquatch Mountain and Manning Park Resort. Both offer great snowshoeing trails, skiing and sledding through the winter months.

This outdoor treasure-hunting game requires the use of a GPS device, or GPS-enabled smart phone. bcgeocaching.com.

Harrison Hot Springs has some unique stores, offering everything from souvenirs to art and fashion.

IF YOU GO, HERE ARE A FEW WORDS FROM THOSE WISE WALKERS • Never hike alone • Travel in groups of at least four • Hike at the speed of the slowest member of the group • Stay on the trail • Keep pets on leash at all times

• Resist the temptation to collect trees, plants or flowers • Never approach or feed bears or other wild animals • Always pack out what you take in.

Don’t bury your trash

• Tell someone where you are going and when you will return • Carry a cell phone or VHF radio to communicate, if possible • Respect wildlife

BEAR SAFETY: Most bears will leave if they are aware of a group’s presence

so make some noise. Stay in the open as much as possible. Keep children close at hand on trails. If you do meet a bear, don’t run and do keep calm. Make a wide detour and leave the animal a way to escape.

DISCOVER THE

‘wild’

SIDE

of Harrison Hot Springs with a self-guided or group tour for nature lovers Deep in the heart of “Sasquatch Country” you will find North America’s largest gathering of Bald Eagles. Starting in October the raptors are drawn to the area by the millions of spawning salmon that travel up the Fraser River to tributaries such as the Harrison River.

Their numbers peak in November and December. In December of 2010, 7,362 Bald Eagles were counted in a small section of this area.

Over 10,000 were estimated to be in the normal Festival count area from Harrison Bay northward along the Harrison River to the Chehalis Flats. This incredible world record aggregation of a large predator is an annual event. The estuary is also home to incredible wildlife such as Trumpeter Swans, ducks, seals, bears, coyotes, deer, cougars, and the Great White Sturgeon.

To celebrate this incredible seasonal event, the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival kicks off the third weekend in November. The Bald Eagle Festival weekend in November matches the build-up which peaks in December and wanes, as the salmon carcasses are eaten up, through January and February. What really drives the eagles to our area is the freezing up of the northern rivers – the eagles can’t get at the dead salmon under the ice. Southward the eagles come by the thousands and our incredibly productive Chehalis – Harrison River complex provides food for thousands of eagles, usually for months. While the eagles can be viewed from the shores of the Harrison River the best viewing is on the river itself. Both Shoreline Tours and Harrison Eco Tours offer Eagle Tours on the Harrison River during this incredible event.

ECO TOURS

QUEST FOR THE SASQUATCH

BIRD WATCHING

Harrison Eco Tours offers both jet boat tours and guided kayaking on the Harrison River.

Shoreline Tours will show you why Harrison Lake is so amazing.

Harrison Hot Springs has been a hot-bed of Sasquatch sightings for centuries. Sts’ailes, a local First Nation band, uses the Sasquatch as its symbol and believe it to be a spiritual being. See Tourism Harrison’s event calendar for information on the upcoming Sasquatch Days. For more information on the Sasquatch, visit our Sasquatch Museum in the Harrison Visitor Centre.

Harrison Lake is a major resting area on the north-south migration of many bird species. In the fall, Harrison River is also home to one of the largest congregations of Bald Eagles in North America. Bring your binoculars and start counting.

Sasquatch MUSEUM

Uncover the mystery of this giant!

Immerse yourself in artifacts, videos and news articles.

Perhaps even catch a glimpse of our elusive friend during your stay! Visit our newly opened Sasquatch Museum at the Harrison Visitor Centre.

Described as a bi-pedal mammal of exceptional size (sometimes reaching 14’) with great strength and reddish hair covering its entire body, the Sasquatch is legendary in Harrison Hot Springs with many regional sightings.

The word Sasquatch is thought to be a mispronunciation of the Sts’ailes First Nations word ‘Sasq’ets’, meaning ‘hairy man’.

For centuries, the Sasquatch has occupied a unique niche in the oral traditions of the First Nations communities of Harrison Lake and Harrison River. The Sts’ailes believe the Sasquatch is a spiritual being that can vanish into the spirit realm at will, which may explain why the elusive being is so difficult to track down.

The home of the Harrison Sasquatch and

location of some sightings are the caves of Mystery Valley on the West Side of Harrison Lake. Local lore says the Sasquatch hold a reunion every four years, beginning on the night of the full moon in July. For four nights in succession the Sasquatch meet and signal fires are kept burning. The last year fires were seen burning was 1940, however reported sightings in the area have been as recent as 2009.

event brings the local Sts’ailes First Nation band to Harrison for a weekend of canoe races, salmon barbeque and Sasquatch story telling.

Harrison Hot Springs is not only home to the Sasquatch but also to Sasquatch Days, a great weekend celebration. This annual

Learn more about the history of the Sasquatch in Harrison Hot Springs at our Visitor Centre and Sasquatch Museum.

Harrison has a long history of passionate Sasquatch investigators including the legendary Mr. Sasquatch, John Green. Check him out in the award winning Sasquatch Odyssey - The Hunt for Bigfoot DVD.

HARRISON HOT SPRINGS

www.golfcultus.com

“

The history of the Harrison Hot Springs region stretches back for thousands of years with our local First Nation people. Harrison Hot Springs was revered as the “healing place” by the local First Nation long before they were “discovered” by Europeans in the 1800s.

From Port Douglas to Lillooet, a mixed land and water route was built named the Douglas Road, aka the Lillooet Trail, Harrison Trail or Lakes Route.

During its rowdy heyday, Port Douglas had thousands of

residents. Many of the BC mainland’s first companies had their start here, including the famous B.X. Express and other major freighting companies. These companies relocated to the Fraser Canyon with the completion of the Cariboo Wagon Road in the mid-1860s.

Settlers are said to have ‘discovered’ the hot springs in 1858 while enroute to the gold fields. Their boat capsized, expecting to meet their doom in the frigid waters, they instead

discovered that the lake at that spot was not freezing... but rather warm.

Local First Nations called the Hot Springs Kwals, meaning boiling water. The hot springs were revered as a “healing place” by natives of the Coast Salish people, who traveled by canoe to benefit from their waters.

To learn more about the fascinating history of our region visit our local museums and historic sites.

“Touring these old heritage sites brings you back in touch with a simpler time.

The old pictures and artifacts breathe life into a history that we all share.”

“

During the 1850s Gold Rush, Harrison Lake was the intitial route most prospectors took to the gold fields, taking a paddlewheeler from New Westminster they would follow the Fraser, then head up the Harrison River and Harrison Lake to Port Douglas.
