Pacific Yew

Developed in the Spring of 2021, Pacific Yew is the newest recreation site along the Sayward Forest Canoe Route located on Mohun Lake. Named after the abundance of Pacific Yew trees in the site, most individual campsites are water side with amazing views and access to the lake. There is a small swimming beach for campers as well as a boat launch for small boats. The boat launch is restricted to those camping at the recreation site and those paddling the Sayward Forest Canoe Route. Designated parking for Sayward Forest Canoe Route paddlers is available adjacent to the boat launch.

Please do not damage or cut into the stems of trees.

A site host will be present May to September and a user fee will apply to all overnight camping.

Please pack out what you pack in as there are no garbage disposal services at Pacific Yew.
