About
A pleasant medium sized site located on the shoreline of Mosquito Lake. The campground also includes a small day-use shelter and boat launch. Don't worry, the lake wasn't named for the pesky little insect but rather to honour the legendary aircraft. The Mosquito was the fastest aircraft in the world in 1941-44. It was manufactured using the high quality Sitka Spruce growing in this valley.
Road access. User-maintained site with no regular servicing. Facilities on file: boat launch, toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, litter barrels, parking, shelter. First come, first served.
Getting there: Located on Moresby Island, along the Moresby Mainline on the road to Moresby Camp.
