Chute Lake

Chute Lake

Chute Lake is a small alpine lake high above Penticton on Okanagan mountain at about 4000 feet.  It is accessible by road from Penticton and by 4 wheel drive road from Kelowna.  From here the trail descends steadily and quickly into the vineyards and orchards of the Okanagan Valley.

Heading Kelowna way heading on  lakeview road to Chute lake road, make a left turn onto Uppermission drive, then onto Gillard Forest Service Rd traval for 8km on the right there will be a sign saying Chute lake. Then for 11km you will get to the lake. The road is the KVR and it is a little ruff and tight have to make sure to keep an eye open for other people.

Proctor Lake

Proctor Lake

Found this lake heading down from Sliver Star, was fishing and people came up to us and told me there are no fish in the lake. Kinda felt dumb but its a nice lake there are tadpoles in the lake. It is a very nice lake if you just want to get out to a lake for the day. There is kinda like a campground there but you should use a 4x4 to get up the hill. 

Going up to Sliver Star and you turn left where you see the arrow in the picture to go up to sliver star you would turn right at the turn. When making the left turn at the arrow on the picture make sure you make a safe turn, It is a little hard to see the road. It is a dirt road.

This Picture is looking down of the road to the campsite dose not look that steep but it is and its the best road to take you can see it as soon as you get to the lake. 4x4 is the best.

There are rainbow trout there about 8-10in about the biggest iv seen, there are 6 camp sites. Lots of paths to hike around, there are many wild strawberry plants. Can bike around the Lake.

 

Walloper Lake Provincial Park

Walloper Lake Provincial Park,

Is an picnic Ground, no overnight camping is permitted. There are fishing wharfs to fish off.  Just off the Coquihalla Highway #5, 37 km south of Kamloops watch for highway signs for Lac Le Jeune Park.To camp the best place would be at Lac Lu Jeune Lake.

Moore Lake

Nice lake, found it when exploring up to Postill lake in Kelowna bc. nice little camp ground was not able to take pictures because people where there.

Moore Lake is on Postill lake road, going up there is a sign on the left hard to see so you have to keep your eyes open, it says Bulman Rd 15. The lake is about 25-30min drive in just stay on the main road.

Was using Flies the fish are big bitters, the best fly was a black with a red tail. Caught brook trout about 10in and little guys also.

What i found out is that if you turn right past the camp and keep going on that road it will bring you down a very steep road with lose gravel to the lake thats where i took the pictures from, I had to back out no way when 2 wheel drive you can back out had to put it into 4x4. I should have taken i pic of the road to show how steep it is.

High Lake,

Heading out of Vernon to Lumpy there is a logging road, same road up to King Edward lake. keep on the road past King Edward lake in tell there is a cattle guard and on the right before the cattle guard there is a road like a big parking spot. I parked there and walked in but with a 4x4 you could drive into the Lake. Its about 10-15 min walk.
