This stretch of the Chena River will connect the town of Nordal with the Steese Highway. Drivers can expect delays, lane shifts, and some minor debris along the way. The project is also expected to finish the roadwork in late October. The new section of Chena Hot Springs Road will include a bypass for drivers heading east from Fairbanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The road is an outdoor hot springs facility with several entry points. The cost to swim is $15 per adult and $13 for seniors. Children ages six to 17 pay $10. Free admission is available for children under five with an adult. A towel is provided, but no swimming is allowed if you bring your own. However, there are plenty of amenities to help visitors enjoy the area. The Chena River is one of the most scenic and beautiful rivers in the U.S. The Chena Hot Springs are located on the banks of the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The area is home to numerous activities. There is an ice museum and ice-carved appletini glasses. During the summer, there are many hiking and biking trails. In the winter, you can also explore the area by going on a dog sled ride. During the cold winter months, you can tour a sled dog kennel and take a sleigh ride. You can even camp here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are plenty of restaurants and lodging options along Chena Hot Springs Road, the area is largely undeveloped and lacks local amenities. The only food options are restaurants and the Chena Hot Springs Resort. Guests are welcome to swim in the warm water for a modest fee. There are no gas stations or restaurants in the area, but if you do get hungry, you can always try the resort&#8217;s restaurant. The area is best during mid-May when the weather is green and the natural springs are at their most enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chena Hot Springs Road is a 56-mile-long scenic road that is ideal for camping, hiking, and bird watching. The scenic route is ideal for casting a line or wildlife watching. The natural hot springs that flow in this area are the source of the road&#8217;s name. There is a sign on the road indicating that it is a scenic route and that it is open to all. While it is not a major road, it does have several scenic overlooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The road is one of the most scenic and beautiful in the Interior. A popular spot for hiking, kayaking, and snowmobiling, the natural hot springs here are not only mineral-rich but are also a popular destination for people who want to experience the area&#8217;s history and culture. The town is located about 60 miles from downtown Fairbanks.
