About this site

Source

One forested campsite and a boat launch is what Kernaghan Lake North amounts to, in the Salmon Arm area. Small boats are the point, and the water is close by.

Access is rough and rated four-wheel drive, and the site is first come, first served. Nobody services it, so pack out what you bring.

The nearest fuel is about 14 km away and the closest community, Switsemalph 3, about 13 km, so shop before you head up. Pillar Lake is about 13 km off, and the Shuswap network, with 173 mountain bike trails, starts about 16 km away.
