A small provincial park on Highway 5A north of Princeton, BC, known for its clear, teal-tinted lake, a picnic area and a campground across the road. There's no cell service.
Allison Lake Provincial Park sits along the Highway 5A valley north of Princeton, and reviewers keep coming back to the water: clear, clean and tinged teal, with several calling it the most beautiful lake in the area. There's a picnic area with parking and a washroom right by the lake, and the campground is across the road.
People come to swim, fish, boat and hike. There's a boat launch, a rope swing at the back of the lake and a short trail around the campground. The shoreline is rocky or muddy rather than sandy.
It works well as a highway stop or a quiet base for a few days. One visitor who wanted to stay a week noted there is no phone or internet service, so plan accordingly if you need to stay connected.
