About Bannock Point
Bannock Point, on the shores of Slocan Lake has special appeal. Walk-in camping is accessed via a 700 meter (1/2 mile), moderately steep trail. Upgrades to the campsite were completed in 2024 and there is now 12 campsites on the upper level and 22 down near the water. Early in the morning expect to see eagles and osprey fishing. A small pebble beach catches the afternoon sun. A summer day can easily be whiled away diving in the clear water of Slocan Lake or sun bathing on the huge boulders. At the end of the day, listen for Canada geese settling down for the night as you watch the sunset behind the Valhallas.

Getting there
Road Access: From the bridge on Highway 6, in Silverton, travel south along the highway for 4.5 km. Turn right off the highway at the "Bannock Point Trail" sign. It is about 3/4 km from the highway to the parking. Follow the road to the gravel pit. When the road reaches the gravel pit and opens up, continue straight, there will be gated access to the gravel work area of either side. The road then narrows and leads a short distance through the trees before opening up to the parking lot for Bannock Point. You will see an information kiosk and designated parking spots.
Boat Access: From Silverton's public boat ramp, travel south along the east shore of Slocan Lake for about 4 km. Look for a sheltered bay and the "Bannock Point Recreation Site" sign on the beach.
