About this site
SourceIn the Okanagan, Idabel Lake Recreation Site gives you a lake, a boat launch and a fire pit, and leaves the rest to you. Fishing is what most people come here to do.
Camping is first come, first served on gravel access. Nothing beyond the launch and the fire rings is on record, so treat this as a self-sufficient stop.
Distances matter here. Myra Canyon is about 28 km away and the nearest fuel, the Black Mountain Esso, about 30 km, so bring everything, including the fuel to get back out. Two John Lake is roughly 6.6 km off and Bike Big White, with 25 trails, around 12 km.
