About this site

Source

Emerald Lake keeps things simple: tables, fire rings and a pit toilet, with a 100 metre footpath down to the water for carrying a canoe or a small boat. Crystal Lake is right next door, about half a kilometre away.

There is room for five camping parties, first come, first served, on gravel access. Fishing and swimming are what the lake gets used for.

Bear Lake is about 9 km out and the Gas Plus about the same, which makes this an easy first or last night on a trip through the Prince George area.
