The access road is narrow, brushy and can be rough so may be prohibitive for RV's/trailers. There is gravel/sand beach access and a gravel boat launch here. There are several species of fish in Francois Lake for anglers. Please be sure to purchase a fishing licence and consult the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis for limits, special regulations and closures: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/sports-recreation-arts-and-culture/outdoor-recreation/fishing-and-hunting/freshwater-fishing/region_6_skeena.pdf
