About this site

Source

Right beside the Finlay-Phillip FSR on the way to Mt Milligan, this site gives five parties a place to stop, with tables, a pit toilet and a small natural boat launch onto the water. Angling is the point of the stop.

Access is gravel and camping is first come, first served. The launch is natural rather than built, so plan on a canoe or a cartopper instead of a trailered boat.

McLeod Lake is about 48 km away and the fuel there, Tse'Khene Food Fuel, about the same distance, so fill up on the way through. Philip Lakes sits about 4 km from camp.
