Located 60 miles northeast of Fairbanks, Chena Hot Springs became famous for curing crippled prospectors of their aches and pains as long ago as 1905.

Everyone is talking about the "Healing Waters" of Chena but what does that really mean? People have been going to hot springs for centuries; some in search of the eternal fountain of youth and others searching for cures for whatever ails them.
The healing water of Chena Hot Springs has been compared to mineral waters found in hot springs famous all over Europe. Our water has been used by miners and trappers and statesmen, actors and authors and chiefs and captains of industry and everyone in between.
