Getting to Alexis Lake (Tigulhdzin)

A camp area is located on the east side of the lake. This is a quiet family oriented site that is user maintained and ideal for uncrowded camping and day use. There is a long sandy slope to the water but no wharf and no stairs so launching a cartopper is not easy.

26.0 km of traced road to the campground by way of Maindley Rd and Alexis Creek-Nazko Rd. The road at the end is a loose surface.

The route traced over the BC Digital Road Atlas. A trace is a line on a map, not a report on the road: check conditions before you drive it.
