Today the local economy is based on agriculture, dairy and crops (corn & hazelnuts), as well as tourism with Harrison Hot Springs being a resort destination. Sasquatch Provincial Park is a favoured campground with many options for day trippers as well. Heritage enthusiasts come here for a visit to the Kilby Store and Farm and the Harrison Agasssiz Museum which is housed in the oldest remaining wooden train station in BC.
Harrison Hot Springs is also the site of many cultural, recreational and artistic events.
