Harmon Lake (Merritt)

Site Description: CASH ONLY - This site has been recently improved (June 2017)to reduce the conflict between public recreationalists and range cattle. The entire camping site is now enclosed with new fencing and cattle guards. A New 36' floating dock has been installed at the boat launch to improve access to the lake and provide additional shoreline fishing opportunities. This wonderful campsite has all sizes of gravelled camping pads so motorhomes to tents can be accommodated and has a great well developed boat launch and parking area. Horse shoe pits are also on site. A great family environment with a 24 - 7 site host. Located in the beautiful Kane Valley, this very popular recreation site is used by all types of outdoor recreationalists. The nearby Harmon Lake Forest Interpretive Trail allows hikers to walk on the southeast side of Harmon Lake and learn about forestry and wildlife. The adjacent 50+ kilometres of the Kane Valley cross country ski trails can also be explored all year round. On occasion there are weekend interpretive shows at the outdoor amphitheatre.
