Dot Lake

Dot Lake Recreation Site sits outside Merritt, British Columbia, at an elevation of approximately 4,691 feet (1,429 m) in the Nicola Valley.

The site is reached by heading west on Highway 8 from Merritt, turning onto Aberdeen Road, and continuing along the Skuhun-Pimainus Forest Service Road for roughly 28 kilometers total.

The recreation site offers five camping spots set within a semi-treed forest, with a maximum stay of 14 days. Tent camping is permitted, and the lake is a draw for anglers and hunters. A boat launch and fishing dock serve those arriving by water.
