About this site

Source

A swimming beach in the northwest corner of the lake is the best thing about this very small site in the Merritt area, and it is a short walk from camp. Fishing is the other draw, and the Island Lake recreation site sits close by as a second option.

Two sites at Paradise Lake, first come, first served, on gravel access, with the lake itself under a kilometre away.

The Elkhart Gas Station is about 7 km off, which is handy for a site this far out, and Bankeir is about 23 km if you need more than fuel.
