How to Get There
Address: D'Arcy, BC V0N 1L0
Getting to the lake is an exciting adventure in itself and features the incredibly dramatic scenery of the Coastal Mountain Range. Depending on which way you are traveling you may take Hwy 99 on the Sea-to-Sky highway coming from Vancouver where you will pass through Squamish and Whistler. Or if you’re coming from the interior of BC then you will be coming from Cache Creek and through Lillooet. The drive is well worth it but can be sketchy as you are driving through steep ravines with winding corners and switchbacks. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife as these mountain ranges have an abundance of bears, wolves, cougars, and much more.
