We stayed in May 2018 for 2 nights over the weekend daughter 7, wife and I. Nice drive beside Harrison lake to the woods into Sasquatch Provincial park to get to the site beyond Hicks lake. Beautiful lake, mostly families with kids playing and cycling around. The park rangers were very friendly and helpful and were always on their rounds so we could as if we needed anything. Did a few small walks around the trail which were serene and calm. Gave it a 3 because there were a lot of mosquitoes and at the lake there was a board stating swimmers itch so we decided not to venture into the water. Did not put the kayak in however did see a few venture and have a lovely time paddling. Not much into fishing but seen a lot of people fishing. Campsite has only pit toilets and hand pumps for water. Overall not bad if u keep the fire going to keep the mosquitoes...

It doesn’t take long to get here from Harrison and the gravel road isn’t bad at...

Be aware as of August 18th the water level is very low and does restrict the ability to launch from the dock. Fishing for the kids is also great, as it is well stocked, sadly the low level also makes it hard to cast from the dock.
They also allow electric motors if you don't want to paddle.
Lastly, the lake also has picnic tables with stove attachments so bring your small cooking device of choice (ie...
