Resorts
& Campsites:
There are 2 BCFS campsites on the south end. The first one reached
has poor lake access, the next (which is the main campsite) has
a boat launch and is suitable for small trailers. Open campsites
are situated away from the water. Primitive camping is available
on the other side of the lake after a boat or canoe ride across.
The campsites also mark the beginning of several scenic hiking trails
around the lake. Services and accommodation are available at Harrison
Mills.

Viewscape:
The rugged mountainous terrain surrounding the valley is mainly
forested in hemlock. There may be evidence of old logging in certain
areas. This lake, in its thick forested valley, is just south of
the world famous Hemlock ski area.
Shoreline:
With the forest coming right down to the shore, access is often
difficult, but there are still boat accessible beach areas on the
north shore, that are perfect for a peaceful getaway. Alder and
scrub willow are evident right on the shoreline gradually developing
into a cedar and hemlock forest. Several islands also add variety
to a day on the lake.
Nearby
Lakes
Francis, Grace and Wolf Lakes are small lakes which support Rainbow
fisheries known for their numbers not their size. Francis and
Grace are stocked annually with Rainbow. All 3 lakes have small
BCFS campsites and with the exception of Francis, which may require
a 4wd, have good gravel access roads.
Note:
Always check your current BC Fishing regulations before you start
fishing a new lake.
