About
This is a very popular site that sits adjacent to the clear waters of Amanita Lake. Although anglers may catch the odd small rainbow trout, this lake is much more heavily used as a swimming and camping destination. There is space for 9 camping parties as well as some extra day use parking, and the basic amenities of tables, fire rings and pit toilets are provided.
Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. Facilities on file: boat launch, toilets, picnic tables, dock. First come, first served.
Getting there: Travel 16.5kms east of Prince George and turn left on to the Upper Fraser Rd. Continue ~63kms (paved) until you cross the one-lane bridge (changes to unpaved) and keep left to the Church FSR. The site is located via a left turn at approx. the 8 km mark.
