About
Popular for fishing and hunting, the recreation site has a small number of campsites available. They are suitable for mid sized trailers as the camping sites themselves are quite large. There is also the Roscoe Lake trail that leaves near the boat launch and partially around the west side of Roscoe Lake to a lookout. Another trail leaves the Roscoe Trail and continues further on and over to Knight (Echo) Lake.
Both trails are non-motorized.
Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. Facilities on file: boat launch, toilets, picnic tables, fire rings. First come, first served.
Getting there: Located northwest of Chataway Lake, access is via Skuhun-Roscoe Forest Service Road.
