7 Mile Lake
About 7 Mile Lake
This is a small site, semi-forested with mature Larch and Lodgepole Pine trees, with a central grassy, open area. Most of the sites are well-shaded, as the recreation site is nestled in a valley bottom. The site is located adjacent to Seven Mile Lake, a small shallow, weedy lake which is the headwaters of Caven Creek. The lake has a steep shoreline and is treed right to the water on the south shore, but a rough trail along the north side of the lake provides access to the deeper portion of the lake which is suitable for fishing. The lake is stocked with Cutthroat trout every other year. The site is located right on the main FSR but traffic is not excessive at this point. Commencing at the community of Jaffray, take the Jaffray/Baynes Lake road and travel south 16.3 km to the junction with Kikomun Road (known as the Four Corners junction). Set odometer to zero and turn right (west) onto Kikomun road. Proceed 5.7 km, crossing the single lane Bailey bridge, and turn left onto Caven Creek FSR (signed). The kilometer markers on this road start at 16km. Reset odometer to zero. Travel 29.3 km to the recreation site, staying left at the Cherry Lake FSR junction. The site is located right on the left (south) side of the road just past the 44km marker.
