A full-service bar has a separate menu, including pizza. Slightly farther away is Circle Hot Springs, about 140 miles down the Steese Highway. It offers an Olympic-size outdoor swimming pool where the water is about 103 degrees. A rambling lodge built in 1930 of materials barged up the Yukon River offers 24 rooms, a library, bar and restaurant. A female ghost is said to frequent the upstairs rooms.
Several cabins are also available for rent.
Berry picking, hiking and picnicking round out the summertime activities. In the opposite direction from Circle and Chena hot springs sits the most remote of the region's road-accessible spas. Manley Hot Springs, at the end of the Elliott Highway, is also one of the most rustic. Though the Darts do not offer accommodations in Manley Hot Springs, travelers can find lodging in the Manley's bed and breakfast and roadhouse. Two cabins sit near the site, which is owned by the federal government but leased to a local entrepreneur.
