White Boar Lake (Kimberley)

Site Description: White Boar Lake is a classic cirque lake sitting at the head of a glaciated valley. The vertical wall of Mount McKay soaring upward to 2665 m and the remnant glacier at the far end of the lake, provide a spectacular backdrop for campers, anglers and picnickers. A small campsite with tables, fire rings and a toilet at this easily accessed subalpine lake, make it an ideal outing for those unable to walk long distances.
