About this site

Source

The reason to camp at Hartley Lake is Fernie. The riding town and its 368 trails are about 11.1 km away, so you can ride all day and still sleep beside a lake, with the water about 0.1 km from the site.

This is a small open spot with 2 units, first come, first served, on gravel access. It was built with the Fernie Rod and Gun Club, and you can get in from Fernie or by way of the Bull River FSR.

Hosmer is about 6.8 km away and the nearest fuel about 10.5 km, so gas up as you pass through town.
