Description:
Owen Lake is moderate in size and easy to access. Access to Owen Lake is at the lake’s far Northern point. The lake has a few small bays but is mostly linear in nature. The lake is approx 6 km long. Historical Records of fish found in this lake include: Rainbow Trout, Burbot, Coho Salmon, Sucker, Dolly Varden, Lake Trout and Whitefish. The deepest part of the lake is approx 120 feet and is near the Southern end of the lake (see depth map).
The Owen Lake Rec Site is a large open and grassy area providing space for 13 units. The popular site is mainly visited for the water activities including swimming, canoeing and fishing. There is a boat launch, a beach as well as nearby hiking trails. The popular site is well developed and includes wheelchair accessible toilets.
