About
A small site close to town with day-use opportunities as well as overnight. There are two halves to the lake to explore. Or, hike the 2.1 km loop trail from the campsite out to the rocky point and back around. Site is part of the Sayward Forest Canoe Route chain of lakes. It includes the start of the 0.8 km portage trail from Twin Lake to Amor Lake. A nice trek to make even if you're not packing a canoe.
The portage trail from Mohun Lake ends at the swamp at the east end of Twin Lake.
Road access. User-maintained site with no regular servicing. Facilities on file: boat launch, toilets, picnic tables, dock, fire rings, litter barrels. First come, first served.
Getting there: From Campbell River, head north on Highway 19 towards Roberts Lake. 24.7 km from town (from the traffic lights near the bridge over the Campell River), take the turnoff to Mohun West road. Drive on the gravel road for another 3.4 km and the entrance to Twin Lake site will be on your left (just before the bridge).
