About
This park offers six rustic, vehicle-accessible campgrounds on a first come, first served basis. They are accessible from June to October, weather permitting. Campsite reservations are not accepted.
Germansen East site located next to the Germansen flumes, which were built in the 1930s for channelling water (used in hydraulic mining) some 14 miles to the Germansen Mine. Though broken and scattered, the flumes can still be seen from several locations along the Germansen Lake road.
Germansen Lake site aka Pebble Beach or Palm Beach is located mid way along the lake’s north shore. This site has a pea gravel beach.
Rainbow Cove is situated on the east side of the narrows just south of the crossing. There is a mix of open field sites and some semi private sites further along the shore.
Germansen Narrows aka Gebhardt Arm site is on the west side of the narrows just south of the crossing. This is a narrow campsite close to the road.
Omineca River site located at 13 mile creek, offers rough access to the river, not suitable for trailer-type boat launching. The Omineca River offers some good fishing and grade one or two canoeing. Though the Sekani word “Omineca”, means slow moving water, there are a couple of log-jams that may present some minor problems for canoeists or kayakers.
Discovery Creek site is being developed more as a group site traditionally used by hunters in the fall.
Includes 3 walk-in sites.
