About KAPPAN LAKE WEST
NOTICE: Beginning September 24, 2026, and continuing to approximately October 5, 2026, the Ministry of Forests will be conducting repairs and improvements on the access roads into Kappan Lake East and West Recreation Sites. The recreation sites will remain open, but visitors may experience minor delays while equipment are working on the roads during this time.
The recreation site is a popular fishing, boating, and camping destination. Bird watching is also possible at this location. Due to the rough 4x4 road access, large travel trailers are not recommended for this site.

Facilities
Getting there
From Anahim Lake, travel south on Kappan Mountain Road (the turnoff is just west of the Anahim Lake Airport). Travel 5 km to the intersection with the Beeftrail Main FSR. Continue straight onto the Kappan Mountain Road for another 8.3 km and turn right onto the access road. Travel 3.5 km to the recreation site; the last 1.5 km of this road is fairly rough and narrow, and the final approach to the rec site is quite steep, and therefore a 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended.
