About
This site is on a small fishing lake. There is 1 table and outhouse on site. Access is poor and requires a 4wd vehicle. Campers and trailers will have a difficult time getting into Aileen Lake due to water bars along the roads through cutblocks, and large water puddles and the ingrown forest for the last 800m. Best suited for the day fisherman in a pickup truck.
Road access. User-maintained site with no regular servicing. Facilities on file: boat launch, toilets, fire rings. First come, first served.
Getting there: Accessed easiest through Lavington off Learmouth Road. Drive up Aberdeen Forest Service Road to mile marker 20. At 20.6 km, set odometer to 0 and take unmarked road to the right. At 1.4km on the odometer, take sharp turn right. Through this last cutblock there are water bars, and large water puddles in the remaining 800m into the lake. Aileen Lake is at 2.7km on the odometer.
