Skwellepil Creek

Skwellepil Creek Recreation Site sits on the west shore of Chehalis Lake in British Columbia, reached by heading north from Harrison Mills along the Chehalis Forest Service Road.

The gravel road is well-graded for most of its length, though the final descent to the lake becomes noticeably rougher and steeper, with cross-ditches and elephant humps installed to restrict low-clearance vehicles.

A 4x4 with low-range capability is recommended for that last section.

The site offers multiple campsites, including waterfront spots directly on Chehalis Lake, along with a single gravel boat launch ramp and pit toilets maintained by the Four Wheel Drive Association of BC.

Camping is free and first-come, first-served with no host on site. The area is popular in summer, particularly on long weekends, so arriving early in the week is advisable for those hoping to secure a spot.
