About this site

Source

Ahbau Lake is a semi-remote site on the lake's north shore in the Quesnel area, with a boat launch and not much else around it.

The 22 sites split between about 10 larger pads that suit bigger units and smaller sites on the upper loop road. Access is gravel and everything is first come, first served.

Everything is far. Cottonwood is about 28 km and the closest pumps about 36 km, so nothing about this trip is spontaneous. Gordie Lakes are about 4 km away.
