Cleland Lake Recreation Site - # 27

Access

Access the Westside Road from Wilmer, Radium Hot Springs or Brisco.  Cleland Lake Recreation Site is located off of the Westside Road at the km 50 mark.  Stay on the main road avoiding spur roads cut for logging access.  The road in is passable by 2WD vehicle with the last portion rough for trailers.  Alternate access using Westside Road from Brisco is rougher, narrower and not as suited for trailers.

Characteristics and Description

Light to moderate use.  Camping is dispersed into three separate forested sites.  Limited turnaround area for trailers.  The well spaced private sites give Cleland Lake its remote mountain character.  Campers enjoy lake and mountain views from each site.  Little through traffic, especially on weekdays.  North site has boat launch for small boats.  Current logging in the area is designed to minimise visual impact to campsites.  Other fishing lakes are close by: Jade Lake, Topaz Lake and Cub Lake, each with single campsites and rougher access.

Fishing

Varies year to year.  Motor restriction of 7kW.  Refer to BC Regulations.
