About this site

Source

Twenty kilometres off the highway is enough to feel properly out there, and Butternut Lake trades on that. Three small camping pads sit among mature trees near the water's edge, with a gravel boat launch and the lake about 0.8 km away.

All 3 sites are first come, first served, on gravel.

McLeod Lake is about 5 km away and the Tse'Khene Food Fuel about the same, which is unusually convenient for a site that feels this far out.
