About Barton Lake
Two small sites are nestled amongst some beautiful Douglas Fir trees along the terraced shores of Barton lake. There are two separate vehicle access points; the first site offers space for 5 groups and the second site (about 200 metres down the road) offers space for 2 groups. A short trail connects the two sites. The basic amenities of tables, fire rings, pit toilets and car top boat launches are provided. The lake offers opportunities for kayaking/canoeing, but the fishing opportunities are limited to resident coarse fish.
