The property sits directly across from the second largest natural hot springs in Canada, with a 15-minute walk along a boardwalk through boreal forest to reach soaking pools that run 42–52°C year-round. Accommodation ranges from hotel rooms to mini-cabins, campsites, and RV hookups, all served by an on-site restaurant offering breakfast through dinner.","source":"sonnet_4.6"},"website":{"value":"https://www.liardhotspringslodgeandrvpark.ca","source":"enrichment"},"address":{"value":"Mile 497 Alaska Highway, Liard River, V0C 1R0","source":"enrichment"},"phone":{"value":"+1-250-776-7349","source":"enrichment"},"email":{"value":"Liardlodge@hotmail.com","source":"osm"},"route_slugs":[],"centrally_administered":false,"bike_parking_detail":null,"raw_osm":{"addr:city":"Liard River","addr:housenumber":"Mile 497","addr:postcode":"V0C 1R0","addr:province":"BC","addr:street":"Alaska Highway","building":"yes","building:levels":"2","email":"Liardlodge@hotmail.com","large_vehicles":"yes","mobile_reception":"no","name":"Liard Hot Springs Lodge","phone":"+1-250-776-7349","source":"Bing Sat/Local Knowledge","tourism":"hotel","website":"https://www.liardhotspringslodgeandrvpark.ca"},"enrichment_extras":{"reasoning":"The website confirms the lodge is open year-round at Mile 497 Alaska Highway with 12 rooms, a full-menu restaurant (breakfast, lunch & dinner), seasonal campground, and RV park.
