2026 Hot Springs in Alaska

We’ve cataloged 2 hot springs in Alaska, from 0 free & primitive pools to 1 resort experiences across the Alaska Interior.

Alaska's hot springs are the country's most remote — fly-in, drive 60 miles past pavement, or both. Two cataloged pools represent the state: Chena Hot Springs Resort outside Fairbanks (the most accessible, with year-round pools, lodging, and aurora-viewing in winter) and the Manley Hot Springs roadhouse on the Tanana River. Both run 100°F–106°F, both stay open year-round, and the magic is winter — soaking outside at -40°F under the northern lights is the signature Alaska hot springs moment. Plan flights into Fairbanks and budget for the drive.
