Harrison Lake



Harrison Lake is an excellent venue for events such as sailing, windsurfing and dragonboating. The lake has regular afternoon winds which facilitate wind sports and a large sandy beach providing ample space for boats and spectator viewing.

Off the main beach you will find launch facilities, as well as a dock which can accommodate boats and float planes and a marina with short and long term moorage options.

The Village of Harrison Hot Springs is located on the south shore of this 60 km long lake and has over 500 guest rooms, 200 campsites and a wide variety of restaurants to accommodate event participants, officials and spectators.
