Anyone who knows me well knows I have a deep, personal affinity for Harrison Hot Springs. Having lived in the village for many years and continuing to own vacation property here, my roots run deep.

Harrison Lake & River Fishing

The Harrison River Valley is framed by Harrison Lake, the Harrison River, the mighty Fraser River, and a network of pristine tributaries. The Fraser River serves as the primary migratory artery for millions of salmon on their journey to spawning grounds. It is also home to the legendary white sturgeon—the largest freshwater fish in North America, growing up to 1,000 pounds and living up to 200 years. Famous for their strength, they are a premier sports fish. On the shores of Harrison Lake, you have easy boat access to the pristine Harrison River, Canada's first designated Salmon Stronghold (GoFishBC).

Buying New Construction? Have Your Own Agent.

Purchasing a pre-construction property is often more complex than a standard resale. Working with an experienced local expert who understands neighborhood target demographics, building materials, and sales data is vital. Your own agent works exclusively for you—not the developer.
