This was such a peaceful & memorable stay! The site felt wonderfully private with stunning mountain views that shifted beautifully as the dramatic fog rolled in & out. The highlight was the friendly cows who wandered over to visit & explore my rig & cats! The host was very communicative & provided clear, easy-to-follow directions. Highly recommend :)

Overview
About
Set in the shadow of snow-capped peaks, Ross Lake is a paradise for water lovers, even with no camping allowed. Hang out at the beach, jump off the dock, launch a boat, or cast a line for rainbow and eastern brook trout. Anglers who bring in a big catch can take it back to the lakeside picnic area to cook up in the barbecue pits. Off the water, visitors often cycle on the roadways or take a lakeside hike. The 3.5-kilometre Rainmaker Trail takes hikers through all that makes this park special, from its mountain and water views to the lakeshore vegetation.
When to go
While this park experiences all four seasons, its northerly location means that spring and fall are usually brief, and the warm days of summer can cool off quickly even in late August. If you’re looking to swim, July and the first two weeks of August are the prime time to come. The beach can get busy in the heart of summer, with people pulling off from the main highway between Prince George and Prince Rupert. Winter is cold and snowy, great for skiing or snowshoeing around the lake.
Know before you go
- In spring, a massive migration of toads runs through the park, crossing roadways. Keep your eyes peeled and drive carefully.
- Kids under 16 can take advantage of the park’s free Learn to Fish program.
- Be aware that the beach is unsupervised—there are no lifeguards.
- You’ll find groceries, hardware, outdoor gear, and laundry facilities in Smithers, the nearest large town.
