About

Palmer Lake is a popular destination for fishing, particularly in early summer. The recreation site is situated at the northeast end of the lake. There are two camping areas; the main camping area and an overflow area that has 2 additional campsites. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout. Due to the rough four-wheel drive access, this recreation site is not suitable for low-clearance vehicles or trailers.

Driving Directions

From Williams Lake follow Hwy 20 west for approximately 67 km and turn right onto the Alex Graham - Palmer Lake Forest Service Road (1300 Road). Follow the 1300 Road for approximately 52.3 km and turn left onto the Alex Graham - Goering FSR (1700 Road). Travel 8.0km and turn right onto the access road. Rough, four-wheel drive access from this point. Travel 4.5 km to the first 2 overflow campsites, or continue another 0.9 km to the main site, which offers another 9 campsites.
