Crystal Lake (Prince George)

Site Description:This site provides three DAY-USE only areas along the edge of the lake. Each site offers the basic amenities of 2 tables, 2 fire rings and 1 pit toilet. Designated parking areas provide parking for a maximum capacity of 3 vehicles per site. Access is walk in only from the parking area to the day-use site. At site #1 there is access to unload your canoe, kayak or small aluminum boat with a maximum walking distance from the unload area to the lake of 10 meters. Use of an electric motor is recommended on this lake to protect the water quality. The water from this lake feeds a natural spring along the highway, and people drink this water on a regular basis. The lake is stocked with rainbow and brook trout, both of which can grow to an impressive size in this cool, deep lake.

Driving Directions:Travel ~65kms north of Prince George, turn right off of Hwy 97 (look for the "McEwan" sign). Keep to the left at the first junction and follow the main access road. The first of three sites is located at 2km. An alternate recreation site, Emerald Lake, is open/available at 3km (keep left past Crystal Lake).
