About Butternut Lake
Although located only 20 km off the highway, this site offers a more remote feeling experience than some of the other sites in the area. There are 3 small camping pads nestled amongst some mature trees near the water's edge. There is a gravel boat launch available, and the basic amenities of a pit toilet, tables and fire rings are provided. The lake offers angling opportunities for rainbow trout and is stocked annually with Blackwater strain rainbows. Please note that this is a very small/tight site and is not suitable for large or even medium size units.
