Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada.[1] It is home to the second largest natural hot springs in Canada, after Deer River Hot Springs 15 km to the north east.[2] It is a natural river of hot water rather than a spring fed man made pool.[3] The park is part of the larger Muskwa-Kechika Management Area.[4] The community of Liard River, British Columbia is located nearby.
