About
A small mountain lake that is fairly swampy. A nice little walk if your over at Joan lake for the day.
Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. First come, first served.
Getting there: From Kelowna, head south on Hwy 33 to Trapping Creek FSR. After about 10km, watch for a bridge on the right and cross the river. After a few km, ignore the road to the left and continue until you arrive at a Y intersection. Take the right (Lassie FSR) and about 5km in watch on the right hand side for a narrow spur road with a wooden post signed "Cleo Lake". You can drive in about 100m to a parking area, or just park on the roadside. From Rock Creek, head north along Christian Valley Rd to State FSR. Stay on this until taking a right on Lassie FSR (a major road). After passing Cup Lk on your right (a nice camping spot - and one of the only other swimmable lakes) a few km on watch for a spur road with a "Cleo Lake" signpost on the left.
