About Vernon Lake

Located on beautiful Vernon Lake, this is a large, open site with a rough boat launch. The lake level can rise rapidly and may flood during late fall/winter months. Volunteer host is on site May-September 2016. Fees are not collected at this site. Travelling north on Highway 19, turn left at the Mt. Cain/Schoen Lake turnoff. Turn right at the junction and follow the Nimpkish Main over the Davie River. After 2.5kms, bear right and keep following the Nimpkish Main. Lower Klaklakama Lake will be visible down on your left. You'll come to the A-frame/loadout railway at the 102km marker; travel straight through and cross the railway tracks. Just before the 103km marker, you'll come to a main junction; veer to the right onto Back Road and travel for approx. 5 minutes. At the next junction stay left and the rec site entrance will be on your right a few kms down the road. From the highway, it is approximately a 30-45 minute drive on gravel road.
