Jackpine Lake

Jackpine Lake sits at 1,311 m (4,300 ft) elevation approximately 30 km northwest of West Kelowna in British Columbia's Okanagan region.

The lake covers roughly 43 hectares, reaches a maximum depth of 7 m (23 ft), and is stocked with rainbow trout, making it a popular angling destination with high angler usage reported.

Two access routes serve the lake: from Westbank, take Glenrosa Road off Highway 97 for about 9 km, then turn right onto Jackpine Forest Service Road for approximately 20 km; from Kelowna, follow Bear Lake Main Road up to Lambly Creek, past Lambly Lake.

The lake is typically ice-covered from November through early May. On the north shore, Jackpine Lake Wilderness Resort offers camping and boat rentals, including a boat launch and dock.

Adjacent to the resort, the Jackpine Lake Provincial Recreation Site provides a day-use area, boat launch, outhouses, and nine first-come, first-served campsites.

The recreation site cannot be reserved and accommodates up to 98 total sites across the broader area.
