Atluck Lake has a great recreation site and a boat launch. There is good camping available. There are 2 campgrounds that have a boat launch with camping. Both sites are awesome and are right on the lake. Camping here is pretty good; you will enjoy yourself.
Atluck Lake is a lovely lake that is fair in size, quite deep, and loaded with stocked rainbow and dolly varden trout. Some of them can run to 2 kg in weight, but most are an average of 30 to 40 cm. The lake is quite pretty with great views, the fishing is awesome, and there is a lot of space for camping. Did I mention the views? The views will just take your breath away.
This is one of those great lakes of Vancouver Island, A real jewel of a lake. A lake surrounded by snow-covered mountains is nestled in a narrow valley that is filled with wildlife. The birdlife is incredible, don’t forget to bring your camera. There is a good chance you will see black bears, Roosevelt elk, blacktail deer, or any number of smaller creatures like raccoons, otters, or pine martens.
As this lake is in a very narrow valley. The wind has a habit of coming up fast and blowing hard, which can give the lake some fairly choppy waves. Take caution when out in a boat; wear your safety gear. I have seen 3 to 4-foot waves form on this lake, and it sometimes can happen in a flash. Not so great for fishing, but perfect for windsurfing.
To reach Atluck Lake, take the Zeballos road to 9 km at Mukwilla Lake. Turn right and travel down the Atluck main until you hit Atluck Lake. Have fun.
