About this site

Source

Semi-remote is the honest description. Tagai Lake sits on terraced ground above its shoreline in the Vanderhoof area, and reaching it means committing to gravel for a while.

There is room for 8 camping parties, first come, first served. Tables, fire rings and pit toilets are the extent of the facilities, plus a boat launch, which is enough for most people who come this far.

Stock up completely before you go. Punchaw is about 30 km away and the nearest fuel, at Bednesti Lake Resort, is roughly 51 km, which is not a drive you want to make on a quarter tank. Meadow Lake is about 6 km off.
