Description:

Kelly Lake located within the Nechako Reservoir watershed. Water from Kelly 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. You can drive a pickup into the access point, although it is growing in with Alder and might be better suited as a portage.

There are directional signs once you get onto the Kelly Lake Road.
