Niskonlith Lake offers rustic camping and is popular for swimming, fishing and boating.
Niskonlith Lake Park is popular with campers who are looking for peace and quiet, and who prefer more basic camping. It is situated along the sunny north shore of the lake, in ranching country that features Douglas fir and pine forests interspersed with natural grassland meadows. In spring these meadows provide a show of wildflowers that are famous throughout the region. In both spring and fall, this is a place to observe flocks of waterfowl that come to rest each year on the lake.
Fishing is good in Niskonlith Lake, for rainbow trout as well as kokanee. Spawning kokanee may be observed in late summer at nearby Loakin Creek.
Backcountry explorers can reach an exciting complex of forestry roads from this campsite. In winter snowshoers and Photo: Petra Hofman
