About
This recreation site is a popular location for fishermen, hunters and campers. The site can accommodate larger units but the road in doesn't quite allow this due to its narrowness so it is more suited for truck campers, smaller trailers and tenters.
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: From Merritt take Hwy 97C east towards Kelowna for 23 kms. Turn right at Aspen Grove turn off and follow Hwy 5A for 27 kms. Turn left on to Hornet FSR. Keep right at 0.9 km and then go left at 1.5 km. Continue another kilometre and keep to the right. Follow this road almost completly around the lake then turn left into the site which is located on the south side. The open north side of the lake is private land. Rough 4x4 access, 2 wheel drive vehicles are not recommended.
