Pristine Lake, stunning scenery
Aug. 2018
This is one of my favourite lakes! Have visited 4 or 5 times when visiting friends in Campbell River, BC. It is only 15 minutes to paradise. Sandy beaches, surrounded by picturesque pines. Water was warm enough to swim in July Long weekend 2017. Next trip was August 4 and it was wonderfully refreshing. Parking can be a challenge on hot weekends. Drive past the smaller turn offs, to a main sand parking lot. There is a washroom here. The beach is down a slight slope. Bring your toys! Boats cannot access this area. But there are boat lauches before you hit the main beach. No concession stands so bring your own drinks/snacks and remember...what you bring in, make sure you take out!

Nice lake, easily accessible

We took a drive and had a short walk around the lake. Lots of other patrons launching boats, swimming and canoeing. Ample parking and easily accessible from the nearby town of Campbell river.

Great Lake for Swminning. Lots of spots to plop down a chair and enjoy the cool waters.
Aug. 2018 • Couples
A real family lake with the park entrance about two miles down the road ( Gold River direction) from the climb up General Hill. The road is narrow and paved, but there are numerous entrances to the lake and it’s bays on the left. We were there yesterday land the. Day before. I prefer the end parking as the lake is closer and shade is available. We sat in our chairs and read with the odd dip into the clean water off the sandy beach. If it is a weekend get there early with your chairs and coolers and umbrella for shade. Lots of children and dogs ( I hope the owners clean up after them). Ken

Small beaches and nice water
Jul. 2018 • Family
The lake is easy accessible and has a few parking spots. You can walk down to one of the many small beaches and enjoy yourself with a swim or just relax on the beach. Also some opportunities to launch your boat.
Did not see any shops so bring your own food and drinks.
