Rock Pool at Chena Hot Springs Resort The Rock Pool is the heart of Chena Hot Springs — a large, natural outdoor hot spring surrounded by rugged stone and open Alaskan sky. Heated by geothermal energy from deep within the earth, the mineral-rich waters stay comfortably warm year-round, even when winter temperatures drop far below zero. Steam rises gently from the surface as you relax in the soothing waters, creating a peaceful contrast against crisp mountain air. In winter, snow and ice frame the pool for a true Arctic soak. In summer, the midnight sun and surrounding forest create a completely different, but equally beautiful, experience. It’s not just a hot tub — it’s a natural geothermal oasis in the middle of Interior Alaska.
