About this site

Source

Opatcho Lake is about 3 km in off the Willow-Cale FSR, far enough from the road that it runs quieter than the other camps along it. Every site is close to the water, and swimming and fishing fill the day.

All six sites are first come, first served, reached on gravel. A pit toilet, tables and fire rings cover the basics.

This is a long way from a store. The nearest fuel, a Chevron, is about 30 km back toward Prince George, and Woodpecker roughly 35 km, so come provisioned with the tank topped up.
