Description:

Skinny Lake located within the Nechako Reservoir watershed. Water from Skinny Lake drains out into Andrew’s Creek at Andrews Bay Provincial Park on Ootsa Lake. Water in Ootsa Lake flows both into the Nechako-Fraser watershed as well as Kemano River due to the Kenny Dam.

The lake is small-moderate in size and easy to access. Access to Skinny Lake can be done two ways. Either by a short and easy portage at the far Northeast point of the lake, or by road access at its Southwestern point.

The portage is located just after the 90 km board on the Reach Main FSR. The portage is on the right just before the bridge. There are no signs for the portage, however is it ribboned.

The road access is through an older block and the road is very brushy. There is enough room to camp at this access point however there are no amenities on site.

Directional signage exists once you get onto the Reach Main FSR.

Please do not leave trash on site.
