McConnell
Lake in early Spring |
McConnell Lake
Provincial Park is 102 hectares of natural wilderness located just
south of Kamloops. The park encompasses several small, clear lakes
and is famous for its fly-fishing. McConnell Lake has been known to
produce 1.5+ kg rainbow trout!
The park has a primitive trail around the lake, but nearby Stake
Lake provides an extensive trail network that is popular with hikers
in the summer and cross-country skiers in the winter. Many of the trails are also suitable for mountain biking.
Snowshoeing is possible at McConnell Lake, depending on access and
snow levels. Canoeing and kayaking are popular on McConnell Lake,
and there is a smal, gravel-surfaced launching area suitable for small
watercraft. High speed operation of boats is discouraged as this is
a small, quiet fishing lake.

There is a very
rustic day-use area, with one picnic table near the boat launch, one
cold-water hand pump, and two pit toilets (no flush toilets). There
is no developed beach or swimming area, and no camping is allowed
at McConnell Lake Provincial Park.
Visitors should
note that the nearest public telephone is located at the entrance
to Lac Le Jeune Provincial Park, approximately 2 km away.
McConnell Lake Provincial Park is located 22 miles (35 km) south
of Kamloops and 31 miles (49 km) north of Merritt. Access to the
park is via the Lac Le Jeune exit off Coquihalla Highway 5.
