Welcome to Alaska's only year round 100+ year old hot springs resort! Chena Hot Springs Resort is the most accessible and developed hot spring resort in Alaska's Interior. Chena Hot Springs was discovered in August 1905 and became famous for curing crippled prospectors of their aches and pains.

Today, many local, state, national and international visitors enjoy Chena's natural outdoor hot springs, adult rock lake (ages 18+) or indoor family pool.

One of the first things you notice when arriving at Chena is the plume of steam rising from the outdoor natural adult (ages 18+) rock lake and the smell of sulfur. Our outdoor hot springs rock lake is truly natural in every sense of the word including the earthy smell of sulfur which is normal in most hot springs around the world. Chena calls it the "smell of money" because without the hot springs or its accompanying sulfur smell we wouldn't be in business. Some days you may find the sulfur smell stronger than others depending on the wind.
