About this site

Source

Windy Lake sits on the Bonaparte plateau in the Barriere area, a small site whose main job is getting you to the water. Fishing is the draw, so bring a licence and read the current regulations before you cast.

Three campsites, first come, first served, on gravel access. A stay limit applies under the Forest Recreation Regulations, so check the sign when you arrive.

Whispering Pines 4 is about 20 km away and the nearest Chevron about 23 km, which makes gas a decision you make before you leave the highway. Hoover Lake is about 2 km from camp.
