About this site

Source

If you are towing a ski boat, this is the launch on Chimney Lake. The camping is large, open and grassy near Williams Lake, and the lakefront sites have been rebuilt and marked out.

There are 11 sites, first come, first served, at $15 a night, with gravel access. The number of units allowed on a given night can be restricted to limit damage to the ground, so the site does not always run at full capacity.

Springhouse is about 13 km away and fuel about 21 km, so a gas run is a real errand rather than a quick one. Williams Lake, about 27 km off, has 173 mountain bike trails.
