Chena's Healing Waters
Since 1905, travelers have journeyed to our remote valley to experience Alaska hot springs fed by mineral-rich geothermal waters, offering a century of natural healing beneath the vast northern sky.
About the Hot Springs
Origins
Discovered in 1905, these waters offered a rare sanctuary for early Alaskan pioneers. Today, we continue that legacy, welcoming the world to our interior wilderness.
Source
Heated miles below the crust, geothermal water rises naturally to replenish the lake. This constant flow ensures pure, steady warmth in every season.
Wellness
Mineral-rich and restorative, our healing waters are a cornerstone of holistic wellness. Let the steam reset your body and mind after a day in the Arctic air.
