About this site

Source

Buck Lake sits on the north shore of a small lake about 7.5 km off Highway 97C, which keeps the drive in short. Fishing is the main activity.

The 10 sites are first come, first served on gravel, and some of them will take a larger rig. There is a 14 day limit on how long you can stay.

Fuel at the Elkhart Gas Station is about 11 km away and Aspen Grove about 18 km, so top up as you pass. Vinson Lake is roughly 3 km from camp.
