About Mcnair Lake
Upgraded in July 2023, this is a nice walk-in site 2.3kms off Highway 19 near Roberts Lake, up the McNair FSR. Access from the parking lot to McNair Lake Rec Site is an easy 500m walk beside a creek, through a beautiful second growth forest. This is a great little site for picnicking, camping, casting your line from the shore or canoeing the multi-armed lake.
