About

The Mackenzie Lakes Rec Site consists of two separate recreation sites - Mackenzie Lake West and Mackenzie Lake East. These two small lakes are connected by a stream and offer good fishing opportunities for Pennask strain rainbow trout, which are stocked annually in these lakes. Both lakes offer car-top boat launches and the basic amenities of fire rings, tables and pit toilets. Mackenzie Lake West offers 2 camping spots (access can be challenging here due to a steep access road, 4WD and high clearance is recommended). Mackenzie Lake East offers 4 camping spots (access into this side is generally easier but a high clearance vehicle is also recommended).
