About
Heading West on Hwy 20, but want to be close enough to Williams Lake to take in the stampede, then this open grassy rec site along the western shore of McIntyre Lake, is just the spot. The site is separated into 4 camping areas each with 3 points of entrance.
A new gravel boat launch was created near the first campsites, please launch your boat and park in the open field area and not the campsites.
Cattle at-large in the area, and spot is quite busy during hunting season.
Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. Facilities on file: toilets, picnic tables, fire rings. First come, first served.
Getting there: Follow Highway 20 west, at the top of Sheep Creek Hill turn left onto Meldrum Creek Road. Site is 500m from the highway.
