John HartDam

John Hart Dam is east of Campbell River, B.C. on Vancouver Island. Due to recent security issue, the dam may not be easy to view. BC Hydro will be limiting access at selected times through February 2008 to the upper day use trails and the upper section of the Canyon View trail in Elk Falls Provincial Park. Full closure to vehicle traffic is required for security gate installation on the approaches to the John Hart Dam Facility and the John Hart Generating Station office on the Campbell River.

The Campbell River hydroelectric system is comprised of three power generating stations of BC Hydro. Upper Campbell Lake discharges through the 65 MW Strathcona Generating Station (G.S.) into Lower Campbell Lake. Lower Campbell Lake is the headpond for the 47 MW Ladore G.S. Ladore discharges into John Hart Lake, which is the reservoir for the 126 MW John Hart G.S., Upper Campbell Lake is the storage reservoir for all four installations.
