About
This small site his perfect for those wanting a a quiet weekend away or those needing a spot to stay after getting off the ferry. It has enough room for 2 tent spots, a picnic table, fire pit and outhouse. The site is right on the edge of Harris Lake which offers fishing opportunities.
Road access. User-maintained site with no regular servicing. First come, first served.
Getting there: From Nakusp head north on Highway 23 towards the Galena Bay Ferry for 40 km. You will see a single 4x4 post stating Harris Lake on your right at the turn off. The road is easy to miss but it is about 5 minutes past Halcyon Hotsprings. Follow down this road for a couple hundred meters until you reach the recreation site sign and pull out.
