About
Used primarily by fishermen and hunters, the recreation site is accessible by very rough 4x4 via obscure backroads. Not suitable for trailers of any sort but 4x4 with campers or tenting with a 4X4 is ok if caution is taken. The site is also used during winter months for snowmobile activities.
Road access. User-maintained site with no regular servicing. Facilities on file: boat launch, toilets, picnic tables. First come, first served.
Getting there: Located 23 kms north of Princeton off Highway 5A just east of Allison Lake. Access is from the 14km point of Dry Lake Road onto a gas utility line heading north for 5.5 km, then take the right fork to the lake and continue for 400 m.
