About
Sasquatch Lake Recreation Site offers attractive campsites big enough for group gatherings. The semi-open site is spacious enough for small motor homes and trailers. This site is popular with huckleberry pickers and picnickers. A rock slide along the lake shore gives access to the warm water, making this a popular swimming hole.
Road access. Maintained to Recreation Sites and Trails BC standards by a partner or contractor. Facilities on file: boat launch, toilets, picnic tables, fire rings. First come, first served.
Getting there: Travelling north on Highway 6 from Appledale, watch for the "Kokanee Glacier Lemon Creek" Provincial Park signs. Just before the bridge over Lemon Creek, follow the signs and turn right onto a good 2 wheel drive gravel road. Follow the "Kokanee Glacier Park" signs on the "Lemon Creek Forest Service Road". At about 14.5 km turn right onto a dirt road signed "Sasquatch/6 Mile Lakes". A half kilometre up this road, turn right at the sign to the Sasquatch Lake Recreation Site.
