About this site

Source

Beetle salvage logging took the trees off this campsite, so Pimainus Lake East is open ground with mixed pine and spruce standing around the lake beyond it. Anglers and hunters are the regulars, and the water sits about 0.8 km away.

Three sites, first come, first served, user-maintained. The road in is steep in places and rated 4x4, so it is not a trip for a low car or a trailer.

Dot is about 19 km away and the nearest fuel, the Copper Valley Grocery and Gas, is roughly 21 km out. Neither is close enough to pop back to once you have set up camp.
