Description And Directions

Site Description: This recreation site is a good location for fishermen, campers and hunters who want to be off the beaten path a bit. A good boat launch but the road to the site is very rough so is not recommended for any camping or boat unit being towed. Sites are big though and plenty of room but is treeless due to the removal of mountain pine beetle infested trees. The clear lake with its marl shoals and weed beds is a fly fishers dream.

Driving Directions: From Merritt take Hwy 5A NE out of town for 49 kms. Turn right onto Peter Hope Lake Rd. At 5.1 kms turn left onto Plateau Lake Rd. Follow for 4.4 kms and take a right. Follow this road for another 4.1 kms then take left down to the Lake. It is highly recommended to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle with high clearance to get into this lake.
