About
If sunrises and sunsets are your passion, then check out this beautiful site on the South shore of Quesnel Lake. Three campsites are "on the beach," with an amazing view of the North Arm of Quesnel Lake...
If afternoon sun is more your style, check them out at the Abbott Creek Recreation Site.
Boat launch is directly across the beach, so a 4x4 may be required for adequate traction, when lake levels drop.
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: From Horsefly BC, head East onto the Z road, follow the Z road past Keno Lake for 2.5km, and watch for a sharp left back down towards the site. Entrance is 1.25km long and looks like a private access. (sign post for Elysia Resort at the corner)Access is narrow and steep, larger vehicles may wish to scout it out ahead of time as turn around locations are limited.
