Viewscape: The rugged mountainous terrain surrounding the valley is mainly forested in hemlock. There may be evidence of old logging in certain areas. This lake, in its thick forested valley, is just south of the world famous Hemlock ski area.

Shoreline: With the forest coming right down to the shore, access is often difficult, but there are still boat accessible beach areas on the north shore, that are perfect for a peaceful getaway. Alder and scrub willow are evident right on the shoreline gradually developing into a cedar and hemlock forest. Several islands also add variety to a day on the lake.

Nearby Lakes

Francis, Grace and Wolf Lakes are small lakes which support Rainbow fisheries known for their numbers not their size. Francis and Grace are stocked annually with Rainbow. All 3 lakes have small BCFS campsites and with the exception of Francis, which may require a 4wd, have good gravel access roads.

Note: Always check your current BC Fishing regulations before you start fishing a new lake.
