Living in Harrison Hot Springs: Daily Life by the Lake
Mornings circle the lagoon on the Esplanade as joggers and parents head toward Harrison Elementary; kayaks scrape softly into the water. Errands to Agassiz happen early on busy weekends, and afternoons shift to breezy porches or shaded plaza seating. You plan around wind and water—glass-calm for paddles at dawn, festival music by dusk.
