About this site

Source

Jacobson Lake is the trailhead for the Treasures of the Tulameen, a set of historic trails laid out on a large information kiosk and map at the site, so you can plan a route before you walk. The lake is about 0.2 km away.

Camping is treed, with 5 sites, first come, first served, on gravel access. Small horse corrals and extra vehicle parking for trail users sit nearby, so this works for a riding trip as well as a walking one.

Sunshine Valley is about 16 km away and the nearest fuel about 26 km, so make that stop on the way in. Tulameen Falls is about 13 km from camp.
