About
A large 10 unit campsite set on a small, quiet, stocked fishing lake with a gravel boat launch near Highway 16 but out of earshot. The lake is stocked by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC (FFSBC) with kokanee and brook trout, both of which get to good size. This lake provides a high quality experience for anglers, boaters and campers! There is ample room for larger RV's and trailers at this site.
Please be sure to purchase a fishing licence and consult the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis for limits, special regulations and closures: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/sports-recreation-arts-and-culture/outdoor-recreation/fishing-and-hunting/freshwater-fishing/region_6_skeena.pdf
