Community Lake

Catching fish is not our only reason to head out onto the water - this is Community Lake, B.C., ... and yes, some of our photos are also for sale. (Photo Cat#0822)


General Information

Community Lake, B.C. is a higher elevation lake in the general proximity of Sun Peaks Resort although you must follow road signs leading toward Knouff Lake & Knouff Lake Resort.

Community Lake is a smaller lake and fairly shallow which often makes for good fly fishing. The campsite facility was in the process of considerable expansion.

Location & Access

Travel approximately 8 kilometers up the Sun Peaks Road from the turn-off at Heffley Creek on Highway 5 North. (Yellowhead Highway). Turn left onto the Knouff Lake Rd. (Knouff Lake Resort Sign). The road is paved up the hill for 1 kilometer then changes to a good gravel road. (There is a small community at Knouff (Sullivan) Lake. This road may have logging trucks hauling on it - be watchful of traffic - and cattle!) Travel 16.5 kilometers and watch for a road and the Community Lake Forest Service Road sign on your right. Go 19.7 kilometers and watch for a 3-way junction. Go straight ahead. You will come to the Community Lake (BC) Recreation Site sign at 22.2 kilometers on your left. The lake is just over the rise.
