Access: Located southwest of Tyner Lake, access is via Skuhun-Tyner Forest Service Road. From Merritt, head North on Hwy 8 to Lower Nicola and turn right on Aberdeen Road. Drive a total of 23 km to the Recreation Site from the corner of Hwy 8 and Aberdeen/Pamanius Road. Drive 15 Km on the Pamanius and turn left on an unmarked road (the next road past the Tyner Lake Rec site). The recreation site is remote and the access is rugged. The last 2 km of access is by way of a old cut block road that has a washed face and is very rough. The last 4 km can be tricky to find the lake.
