Access to Frisken Lake is limited to 4WD vehicles.    I had hiked in previously so I knew what the roads were like.       To get to the lakeshore, we need to drive the Smith Lake FSR on the west side of Roche Lake.    When the gravel road goes under the power lines, a rough road follows the power line, bearing north.    It climbs over a rough hill and then another rough road turns right and goes to Frisken Lake.    I could have driven the roads in, but I am wary of the amount of wear and tear on the older truck.    I chose to park by the power line, then backpack my folding kayak and gear in to the lake (1.5 km each way).

Frisken Lake is a nice spot to paddle or fish.   It has marshy sides and is surrounded by forest.

I assembled my folding kayak, the paddled around the shoreline (2.5 km).

There was no one in the area, the lake was calm and peaceful, and I enjoyed watching the ducks, loons, and lakeside birds.

Frisken Lake is the eighth lake I have paddled in Roche Lakes Provincial Park.    There are still more, but they will require a longer backpack to get a boat in.    I have hiked them, so I know what will be required, but Bulman Lake and Ernest Lake will remain on the list for a future backpack.
