A large wilderness lake with numerous bays and islands. Access requires a 1.5 km forest trail to a junction — take hard left for shortest route. Great for multi-day wilderness adventures. Rugged canoe wheels recommended for portaging.
A valid BC freshwater fishing licence is required. Check current regulations at the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis before your visit.
