Leo Island is in the West Arm of Murtle Lake.   We have camped there several times.     It is a marine campsite accessed by canoe or kayak only.    We drove to Blue River, then up into the mountains (23 km) to the trailhead for Murtle Lake.    It is a 2.5 km portage to the lagoon launch.    From there it is a 14 km paddle to the island.

The island has a sandy spit with views east and west down the arm of the lake.   When the sun sets the lake lights up with color.

A few photos were taken at different times on different nights.   Click an image for a lightbox view and a caption.
