Wilson Lake W Recreation Site

Free or paid (not confirmed)

This site may be free, but we couldn't confirm it. Check the official page before you go. Campground · Recreation Sites and Trails BC Wilson Lake offers good fishing and boating. This 4.5 km long lake is deep and narrow. Most of the shoreline is steep and accessible only by boat. The recreation site at the west end reflects the character of the lake. It is a narrow strip at the base of a steep cliff offering little room for over night camping, but it is a pleasant picnic spot. The shoreline drops quickly away. However, a nearby float provides a platform to cast from for the ever elusive trout. Getting there: From the junction of Highway 6 and 23 in Nakusp, travel east on Highway 6 towards New Denver for 6.3 km. Turn left onto the "Wilson Lake Road". Take this gravel road up Wensley Creek, past the sawmill. Beyond the snowmobile kiosk the road becomes 4wd. Continue for 5.3 km. Stay left at the "Wilson Lake Forest Service Road" junction. Continue straight ahead for another 700 meters to another junction. Take the right fork, down a good 2 wheel drive dirt road, for 400 meters to the Wilson Lake West… Official page: https://www.sitesandtrailsbc.ca/search/search-result.aspx?site=REC2378&type=Site Source: Recreation Sites and Trails BC.
