Takhini Hot Springs, Natural hot spring near Whitehorse, Canada.

Takhini Hot Springs is a natural hot water source near Whitehorse with two separate bathing areas fed continuously by underground springs. One section is warmer than the other, allowing visitors to choose their preferred temperature.

First Nations used the springs for centuries before William Puckett and A.R. Gordon filed the original lease application in 1902 and bought the land for $2 per acre in 1907, promoting the water for its therapeutic value. The first pool, of wood and canvas, was built in the 1940s for the United States Army during Alaska Highway construction. A concrete pool followed in 1950, replaced by the present pool and building in the 1970s; renovations came in 2008.

The springs were long called Jim Boss' Bathtub, after the First Nations chief whose village stood on the marsh and who kept a bathtub there. First Nations people used the hot water for centuries before commercial promotion began. Today the site also hosts the International Hair Freezing Contest, held since 2011 on days below −20 °C.

The facility stays open throughout the year, though winter and summer conditions differ greatly. Changing rooms are available on-site, and it is helpful to check what facilities operate during different seasons.

The International Hair Freezing Contest began in 2011 and is held only on days between December and March when the air is below −20 °C (−4 °F). The 2020 edition drew 288 entries across five categories, including Best Male, Best Female, Best Group, People's Choice and Most Creative, with CAD$2,000 for each category winner.
