About this site
SourceSmall, forested and looking out over the water, Tanglechain Lake is a fishing and boating stop near Smithers with a small gravel boat launch. Cutthroat trout are the target.
There is room for 4 parties, first come, first served. The road in is rough and narrow enough that big RVs and trailers are a bad idea.
Old Fort is about 18 km away, and fuel is a long haul at about 42 km, so make gas the first thing you deal with.
