Go for a Swim

Go for a Swim! There are multiple locations that are perfect for a dip. Harrison Lake is Glacier fed so the water is pretty chilly in many spots. If you’re feeling brave and want to enjoy the beautiful crisp water, Harrison Bay in Kilby Provincial Park is a beautiful place to swim. For warmer, and more family friendly swimming, Harrison Lake Beach – West of the Lagoon is the perfect spot. It’s a swimming hole that is divided from the main lake/river by a man made sandbar. It gets quite warm in the summer months, and doesn’t have the strong current that can be present in the main lake.
