White Boar Lake

About White Boar Lake

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. Commencing at the junction of Hwy 3/95 and Hwy 95A, follow 95A for 23.4 km to the north end of Marysville. Take a sharp left (south) onto the St. Mary Lake Road. Set your odometer to "0". Follow this road for 16 km to the junction with St. Mary River FSR. Turn left, onto the St. Mary River Road and cross over the bridge. Within 0.6 km, cross a cattleguard and turn right onto the Hellroaring Creek FSR. Follow this road for 1 km, then turn right onto the Meachen Creek FSR. Reset your odometre to "0". Follow this good, 2 wheel drive, gravel road for 15.8 km (42.5km road marker). Turn left and continue along this road for about 4 km, to the end (this access road to the site is a rough 4 wheel drive road and high clearance is recommended). Park on the last landing. The site is a 100 metre walk from the parking area.
