About
Tarfu Lake has good paddling opportunities. Good place to spot mule deer and common nighthawk. Tarfu means “Things Are Really ‘Fouled’ Up” in military terms. Both the lake's Tagish and Tlingit names, Nústséhé Méne’ and Naagas’éi Áayi, mean "fox lake." The campground is one of two in Agay Mene Territorial Park. The gate will remain open after service to this campground has ended. Register your stay (payment not required). Bring your own wood and toilet paper and pack out your garbage.
On the Atlin Road at kilometre 32. 11 campsites. All campsites are first come, first served. The gate is open year-round.
Check for special fishing restrictions that protect sensitive lake trout populations.
