About this site

Source

River access is the point at Wapiti River, a small site in the Tumbler Ridge area where the river does the work.

There are 7 sites, first come, first served, with gravel access, a pit toilet and a boat launch. Fishing and getting a boat on the river are what the site is set up for.

Tumbler Ridge is about 57 km away, and that distance is the main thing to plan around, so come stocked for the whole stay. Johnson Lake is about 12 km off.
