Chena Hot Springs, Natural hot springs resort in Fairbanks North Star Borough, United States.
The geothermal area produces water at temperatures of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, requiring cooling systems before visitors can enter the outdoor and indoor pools.
Two gold mining brothers, Robert and Thomas Swan, established the springs in 1905 after Robert searched for relief from his rheumatism in the area.
The facility maintains kennels with over 50 sled dogs, offering year-round dog sledding experiences on snow trails and wheeled carts.
Visitors should fill their fuel tanks before departing Fairbanks, as the springs are located 56.5 miles northeast through the Chena River State Recreation Area.
The Aurora Ice Museum, constructed from 1,000 tons of ice and snow, features ice sculptures, themed bedrooms, and operates throughout the entire year.
