About
This large lake provides excellent fishing opportunities, as well as camping opportunities.
A collaboration with the Duteau Creek Watershed/Regional District of North Okanagan allows for the recreational enjoyment of this site.
There are three areas in which to choose from, each offering lake access. Please respect the signage posted regarding the use of the dams adjacent to the recreation site. The three areas have had major works completed in 2018. The sites are larger to accommodate longer trailers and motor units. Steel fire rings and new tables have been added to each site as well.
There is a Site Operator on site in the Saddle during the weekend during peak summer months. Dogs must be under control at all times. Quiet hours are 11pm-7am. Do not hold campsites. There are no reservations, and sites must be occupied for the purpose of camping. Vehicles, Trailers, Tents or other personal property left unattended may be removed at the owner's expense.
Road access. User-maintained site with no regular servicing.
Getting there: Accessed easiest through Lavington off Learmouth Road, Drive up Aberdeen Forest Service Road and all three accesses are around the 23 kilometer marker on Aberdeen FSR.
