Lac Le Jeune Provincial Park
Lac Le Jeune
A fishing lake on the plateau south of Kamloops, with summer boating and trout fishing, and cross-country skiing and ice fishing in winter.
Lac Le Jeune lies on a plateau about 30 km south of Kamloops, beside Highway 5A, at an elevation of roughly 1,270 metres. It is much cooler than the valley below and is a popular summer escape for locals and a favorite spot for rainbow trout fishing. The lake has a sandy beach, a dock, campsites and a trail around the shore, and you can rent boats. In winter there are cross-country ski trails nearby and ice fishing on the lake. Take the Lac Le Jeune exit off Highway 5, about a 30-minute drive, and it makes a good stop on the way to Merritt or Vancouver.
