Tahla Lake - BC Recreation Site

Tahla Lake Recreation Site is a small BC Forest Service campsite situated among stands of Lodgepole pine on the shores of Tahla Lake, located in the interior of British Columbia near Merritt.

The lake covers 12 hectares, sits at an elevation of 1,052 metres, and reaches a maximum depth of 8 metres. It is stocked with rainbow trout and sees moderate angler usage.

Access to the site can be made from Highway 5A by turning west onto a secondary road south of the Kentucky-Alleyne Lakes turnoff, then following gravel roads north past Andy, Davis, and Boss Lakes to Tahla.

An alternate route approaches via Highway 5's Coldwater exit, traveling through Kane Valley Road and Voght Valley Road. Larger campsites are available at the nearby Boss and Davis Lakes.
