Now managed in Partnership with the 4 Wheel Drive Association of BC, O'Connell Lake Rec Site is a small site on beautiful O'Connell Lake, within the Northern area of Vancouver Island.
An old trestle divides the lake on an isthmus of land. There are two options for boat launch at the site with a canoe launch on one side and a car top boat launch on the other.
O'Connell Lake is a remote access recreation site with rustic amenities and near the community of Port Alice. Users should be prepared for unmaintained industrial roads, logging traffic, and be equipped for self-rescue in the event of an emergency.
O'Connell Lake Rec Site is truly unique in the North Island, with local logging history, great fishing, and a challenging 4x4 road, it offers many forms of recreation for keen outdoor enthusiasts.
