About Government Lake
This small lake offers productive fishing for generally small but wild and feisty rainbow trout. This is a small unimproved site that offers space for one day use or overnight group. The facilities are limited to a pit toilet and a small car-top boat launch. The access to the site is limited to high clearance 4 wheel drive vehicles, ATVs, or by foot due to road deactivations (a 2WD vehicle can access to within approximately 0.5 km of the site).
