Camp at Harrison Lake, West Side

Harrison Mills, British Columbia

Description

Harrison Lake has a private drive in beach with turquoise water perfect for swimming.

Set up camp, and unwind. Harrison Lake is becoming one of my favourite places in the lower mainland for camping. Whether it's for one night, or the weekend, this is the perfect spot. Along the west Harrison FSR you will find numerous truck trails that lead to beachfront, drive in campsites. It's turquoise lake is cool, but wildly refreshing on a hot summer day. This area is perfect for quadding, dirt biking, or hiking.

The best spots are past 20 mile bay (which is around the 35km mark). I find the further up the logging road you go, the quieter it gets, however, the road gets quite rough past 20 mile bay, I would recommend a 4x4.

Hike to Statlu Lake

Statlu Lake is a hidden gem in the Harrison area. Start your journey at the Harrison West Forest Service Road. This road is pretty well maintained, and a piece of cake for any 4x4 vehicle but high clearance is always helpful, especially for the last bit of road up the hill to the trailhead. It would be possible for smaller, less capable vehicles, but it would be a long day of driving if coming ...

Hike to Flood Falls, British Columbia

You can see the waterfall up high cascading down to the ground from where you park. Once you get to the trailhead and park on the side of the road, follow the trail toward the waterfall. The trail is a bit rough in spots with lots of roots, so be careful where you step. On the way to the falls, the forest is full of trees covered in moss and ferns everywhere. It is a magical site!It shouldn't t...

It was originally established in 1984 and until the first European visit by Simon Fraser, remained inhabited by First Nations.

Relaxing at Sloquet Hot Springs

Nestled between Harrison Hot Springs and Pemberton, the Sloquet Hot Springs are a great place to unwind. With multiple natural pools, it is easy to settle in and enjoy a beer, or my winter favourite, Baileys and coffee. If things heat up too fast, take refuge in a lower pool or cool off in the river. Embracing the natural element of the place, it's not unusual to see others in their birthday su...
