About Stony Lake South
Due to lack of recent industrial access into the area, this site has a fairly remote and rugged feeling that offers a great experience for adventurers. Please see the Driving Directions for a description of the road conditions. Once at the site, there are fantastic views of the landscape surrounding Stony Lake while at this lakeside site. The site offers space for 3 camping parties (but in fairly close quarters). Tables, rock fire rings and a pit toilet are provided. There is a small unimproved boat launch suitable for car top boats. The lake offers good fishing opportunities for rainbow trout, kokanee and lake trout. Please note that set lines are not permitted in Stony Lake.
