About
This small site offers space for 2 camping parties and is a popular spot for hunting camps in the fall. Access to the lake is available via a small car-top boat put in, but due to the swampy shoreline, trailered boats are unable to be launched here. The lake offers angling opportunities for wild rainbow trout. The road into the site and the site itself are quite tight, so anything bigger than a small trailer is not recommended at this site.
Road access. User-maintained site with no regular servicing. Facilities on file: boat launch, toilets, picnic tables, fire rings. First come, first served.
Getting there: Travel west of Prince George - turn left on to the Blackwater Rd - proceed 21kms and then turn right on to the Pelican FSR. Turn left at 56km on to the '56' Road. The site is located at 5km on the right side of the road.
