Description And Directions

  • Site Description: This site is located on the southwest side of Glimpse Lake. The site is located in a semi-open forest but is generally shady under spruce and fir trees. Although there is a rough cartop boat launch at this site, a better public boat launch can be found on the other side of the lake just before you enter the community. This recreation site is a popular location for fishermen, hunters and campers.

    For more information please contact the Recreation Site Operator at (250) 280-8888

Turn left on to Lauder Rd and travel approximately 14 km to get to the Glimpse Lake Southwest site. Turn right at the cattle guard.Follow this road in for a kilometre. Be careful as the road is a bit narrow in spots for longer rigs.
