Visitors to Morton Lake Park are sure to discover that there is a reason the area northwest of Campbell River is called “lake country.” From April to June and September to October, lake fishing for rainbow, cutthroat and Dolly Varden trout on Mohun Lake in the park can be excellent.
While this park is popular with anglers, there is still plenty to do if fishing isn’t your favourite pastime. During the summer, visitors can fill their days swimming, canoeing, boating or just lounging on the sandy beach at Morton Lake.
Morton Lake Park, which includes all of Morton Lake and a section of shoreline on neighbouring Mohun Lake, provides access to the popular Sayward Canoe Route which is a 47 kilometre paddle and portage circuit. The park offers lake-front camping, as well as a boat launch, pit toilets, a short hiking trail to tranquil Andrew Lake and a large day-use area.
