About
The recreation site is popular with fishermen and hunters and is suitable for small truck campers and tenters. There is one campsite on south end of this small lake and two on the north side of the lake. The Burkholder Trail (6.5 in length one way) trailhead is also located at this recreation site.
Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. Facilities on file: toilets, picnic tables. First come, first served.
Getting there: Access is via the Yalakom Road off of highway 40 west of Lillooet. Although the site can be accessed with a two wheel drive vehicle, it is recommended that a 4x4 be used as the road can be slippery when wet, and in some places the hillside sloughs onto the road, so it may be necessary to drive over or around rocks.
