About this site
SourceLarch stands over most of this site in the Penticton area, which means the canopy turns colour in the fall. The lake is small-boat only: cartop launching, electric motors, a bait ban and a rainbow trout quota of 1. Ice fishing is not allowed.
The 21 sites are first come, first served with gravel access, and the site is user maintained. Camp sits about 0.3 km back from the lake.
Carmi is about 13 km away and the nearest gas about 17 km, so fuel is a decision you make on the way in. Penticton and its 241 trails are about 21 km out.
