About

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 100 Mile House, turn west onto Exeter Station road and follow this road through the industrial part of town, cross the railway tracks and keep left. Continue on this road to the end of the pavement, and then continue on the gravel 1100 Road for about 20 km and turn left onto the 1000 Road (Gustafsen South FSR). From here, travel about 12 km to the 10-32 km marker and turn left/east onto the access road. Travel for approximately 0.8 km and turn right, just before reaching the Whale Lake Rec Site. Continue another 6 km via extremely rough 4x4 trail to the Boar Lake Recreation Site. The access road is extremely rough, so four wheel drive and patience are highly recommended. The site is not suitable for trailers or motorhomes.
