About
If Atan is full, this small rec site offers a few more campsites on a nice mountain lake. It is only a few more kilometers down the road from Atan, and is often less busy.
Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. Facilities on file: picnic tables, fire rings, toilets, litter barrels. First come, first served.
Getting there: From Wells take the Bowron Lake Road, turn onto the *new* 2900 road and follow for 7.5km. Access is on the left. Use caution, the access road is steep with limited room to turn around. Scout the area first. The new 2900 road access is located ~1km north of the old 2900 road on the Bowron Lake road, directly across from the 2400 road (Twin Sisters) turn off.
