About

Offering a great view of the Coast Mountains, there are three camp sites in a clearing at the northeast end of Pyper Lake. The site is a few minutes off Highway 20, and is a popular swimming hole with a cartop boat launch.

INDIGENOUS TERRITORY: Pyper Lake is situated within the traditional and unceded territory of the Tsilhqot'in (pronounced "sil-ko-teen") Nation.

The Tsilhqot'in name for this area is "Dandzen Ch'ighats'enelhtash". Source: Tsilhqot'in National Government.
