The following Forest Service Roads are Closed effective October 23, 2023:
Campbell River Watershed - John Hart Lake Restrictions
The City of Campbell River draws its drinking water supply from John Hart Lake mostly via the BC Hydro intake dam and penstocks. On October 15, 2001 the Ministry of Forests in cooperation with the City of Campbell River moved to protect the city’s water supply. To that end, several roads within the community watershed are closed to motorized vehicles. In addition, an order to prohibit camping along the shores of the John Hart Lake is in place.
The intent of the order is to protect the drinking water used by the residents of the Campbell River area. Motor vehicles can cause sediment and petroleum products to enter the water supply. Campers can introduce human fecal coliform and other pollutants.
Please see the John Hart Road and Camping Closures Map for futher details.
For additional information please visit the City of Campbell River website.
