Paddle on Jones Lake, BC

05/10/17

This place is pretty easy to find. If you follow the directions listed, there's an exit and a sign for the lake. Road is steep and has plenty of potholes and loose rock but there were vans and 2wd vehicles at the lake. Once you walk out to the lake, the views are incredible. It will make the amateur photography look like a pro. Just stunning. Two things I wish I knew prior to going: 1. Take a boat, kayak, canoe, or something. The serenity on the lake at dawn and dusk are probably some of the best that you just can't get on the shore. 2. There are bear tracks everywhere. I'm from the southeast US and we don't really have many/any bears. Kept me on alert until some other campers showed up. No sightings or anything but if they scare you, just know they do frequent the area. If you're looking for remote car camping with spectacular views, this is your place.
