About Opatcho Lake
This site is tucked in approximately 3km from the Willow-Cale FSR and offers a slightly more remote experience than the other sites along this road. All camp sites are in close proximity to Opatcho Lake, and the site offers the basic amenities of a pit toilet, tables, and fire rings. The lake is stocked annually with Blackwater and Horsefly strain rainbow trout, and the lake is known to periodically produce some fairly large fish for lucky anglers (5 lbs plus).
