Murtle Lake

Canada / British Columbia / Chase /
Murtle Lake is world-famous as the largest canoe-only lake in North America. Set in a pristine mountain valley, the north and west arms are approximately 20 km long, and the lake averages three kilometres wide. There are 20 wilderness campgrounds established around the lakeshore, and several hiking trails lead to small lakes, alpine wilderness, and waterfalls. From the end of a logging road from Blue River, a level 2.5-km trail provides access to the canoe launch.
