Harrison Lake has always been known for its large coastal bears. As is the case in most coastal bear habitats, there are much larger and more consistent food sources than in inland regions. Huge salmon migrations, abundant berries, and a temperate rainforest climate are the ingredients that grow large bears, and Harrison Lake has them all!

Our provider offers first-class coastal black bear hunts, in stalking mode, at a price that other organizers cannot match. Although the area is remote and rugged, its proximity to Vancouver keeps operational costs much lower than in most other coastal areas, allowing the price to be comparable to that of a black bear hunt inland. Additionally, you can enhance your experience by including a complete guided sturgeon fishing trip and turn it into an unforgettable combination that makes every day exciting, even after you have hunted your bear.

The black bear hunt is a combination of driving, hiking, and glassing in areas where they feed in search of a trophy specimen. Although the terrain is extremely steep, old logging roads, riverbanks, and lake shores allow access with minimal physical effort, so you don't need to be an Olympic athlete to succeed as a black bear hunter. These hunts have a success rate close to 100%, so patience, trust in your guide, and a steady shot are all you need to bring home a coastal black bear in British Columbia.
