Hiking
Ross Lake Park visitors can enjoy the gentle 3.5 km Rainmaker Trail
that encircles the lake and offers views of the lake, the surrounding
mountains and lakeshore vegetation and wildlife. For your own safety and
the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated
trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.

allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their

potential for problems with bears.

Facilities Available at this Park
Boat Launch
Ross Lake Park is a popular year-round fishing spot. BC
Environment stocks Ross Lake with rainbow and eastern brook trout.
Visitors can ice fish during the winter months. The lake has a boat
launch but has an “Electric Motors Only” policy.
Campfires
While campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at the
picnic sites, we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the
environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead.
Firewood may be purchased in the park or you may bring your own wood.
Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary from park to park.
Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. To preserve
vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area
around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable
offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.
Picnic Areas
Ross Lake Park is popular with residents for
day-use picnicking on the lakeshore. The park offers a pleasant day-use
area with picnic tables, fire rings and pit toilets. The day-use area
is open with services from May 15 to September 3.
Note: the area is open all year, but the snow is not plowed during the winter.
