Tunkwa Lake Paddle
Tunkwa Lake is reached on the the Tunkwa Lake Forest Service Road from Logan Lake (15km) or from Savona. The lake lies entirely within Tunkwa Lake Provincial Park. Follow the paved road to the campground and look for the gravel launch on your left.
The lake is a busy fishing lake so paddlers can choose a quieter time to stay out of the away of fishing lines. The shoreline is often shallow or choked with underwater weeds. Early in the season, paddlers can do the entire 8.5 km shoreline, but later in the year may choose to skip or skirt the long inlets and shallow areas. The lake is surrounded by grasslands. The east shore has a few cabins. Fish swam in the shallows in this stocked lake. “Toonqua” Lake in local Indian dialect means “Goose” Lake. On this September day, there were many ducks and geese on and around the lake. A good place for a quiet paddle.
