About
Also known as Hans Lake, the recreation site on Rampart Lake is popular with fishermen, campers, and hunters. No ice fishing allowed.
The campsites are of moderate size so midium sized trailers and fifth wheels can be accommodated. Some shady at the south end of the lake and more open sunny sites located on the south eastern side of the lake.
Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. Facilities on file: boat launch, toilets, picnic tables. First come, first served.
Getting there: Drive 9 Km northeast of Princeton on the Princeton-Summerland Hwy # 40 then turn left off the highway onto Hembre Mnt near where the old railway crosses the road. This road turns into the Jura Road. Drive to the 13.5 Km mark, then turn left and drive 2 km staying to the left. Entrance on the right just before the creek into Rampart Lake. Caution: some industrial traffic is likely to be encountered along the mainline.
