About this site

Source

Two levels of camping on a small lake: the lower sites sit along the water and the upper ones stand in a grove of aspen. Fishing is the reason most people make the drive.

All 6 sites are first come, first served, with gravel access. The lake is about 0.5 km from the pads.

This one is a long way from anything. Punchaw is about 45 km off and the nearest fuel on record, at the Three Nations Store & Lodge, is about 52 km, so come fully provisioned, with water and food for every night you plan to stay.
