Hot Lake mineral hot springs has five really nice soaking tubs overlooking the lake. Soaking time can be reserved online at their website www.hotlakelodge.com/the-hot-springs/.
Each tub is a slightly different temperature (all temps are posted). The Thermal Pub & eatery is now open onsite for food & drinks. At the time of this posting they charge $20 per person and you can soak all day if you’d like. The historic lodge was built in 1864 & has a lot of history!
There is a changing area provided with showers on-site. You cannot bring in outside alcohol, but the on-site pub will gladly give you a plastic cup to take cocktails out to the soaking tubs. Don’t forget a towel!
* Sorry, they don’t allow children under 13 in the soaking tubs
