About
A small but busy rec site on the shore of Bootjack Lake. Only two of the campsites are on the lakeshore, with the rest around the perimeter of the loop road.
All sites are surrounded by Fir and Cedar trees, making for cooler summer temperatures.
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 the Likely highway, turn right towards Mt. Polly mine. At 11km turn right into site. ***** NOTE***** Active mine access road, monitor traffic closely
