This Site is subject to flooding at high water.

Harrison Lake water levels rise and fall each season during the freshet (snowmelt).  Some of our campsites get flooded out during this part of the season.  We have blocked out particular sites at Bear Creek and Cascade in the early season to avoid conflicts with high water.  High water changes each season and the dates may have to be adjusted further.
