About
A beautiful spot on the south shore of East Lake. The site is primarily a day-use area.
Trail access only. User-maintained site with no regular servicing. Facilities on file: picnic tables, fire rings, tent pads. First come, first served.
Getting there: From Powell River drive south on Highway 101. Turn left onto the Duck Lake Forest Service Road about 2 km past Myrtle Point. Drive 4 km and shortly after the power line crossing you will come to a small road to the right. Park here and walk along the road until it turns into the Lang Creek Trail. A little ways along on the right is the signed trail for East Lake.
