Community Lake is known as an excellent fishing lake in the high country.   A 10-site BC Forest Service Recreation site  on the southwest corner gives good boat launch access.   For the paddler, this is a pleasant spot.   There are many small islands and some bays to explore.   By following the shoreline and touring around islands, about 2.5 km of paddling is here, and on this last visit, two circuits provided enough exercise for the afternoon.   Loons and ospreys were seen.   From one point, the west meadows of Tod Mountain rise in the east.    Along the shore the amphibious smartweed was in bloom dotting the shallows with pink knots of flowers (its also called knotweed).

After paddling, I drove some of the backroads and I could see that many kilometres of mountain biking are also available.   Google Earth shows roads dividing out, but extending down to Badger Lake, and up over the ridges towards Louis Creek.

To get to Community Lake, take the Knouff Lake Road and after 9km turn onto the (signed) Community Lake Road and follow this good 2wd road up to the lake (almost 6km).     The lake sits at 4500 feet so dress accordingly.
