About
Ripple Lake is also sometimes referred to as Silver Lake. This is a small lake with only two campsites. The campsites at Ripple Lake are pretty small so it is not recommended for motorhomes or trailers. A new fishing dock was installed at the recreation site in August of 2021, courtesy of the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC.
