Mackenzie Lakes (Prince George)

Site Description: The Mackenzie Lakes Rec Site consists of two separate recreation sites - Mackenzie Lake West and Mackenzie Lake East.

Both lakes offer car-top boat launches and the basic amenities of fire rings, tables and pit toilets. Mackenzie Lake West offers 2 camping spots (access can be challenging here due to a steep access road, 4WD and high clearance is recommended).
