Morton Lake Provincial Park

Reaching this provincial site requires driving up Menzies Main, an active logging road northwest of Campbell River. The route gives way to a dense second-growth forest surrounding two distinct bodies of water. Anglers regularly launch small boats here to fish for cutthroat and rainbow trout.

Morton Lake Provincial Park provides a rustic basecamp for paddlers tackling the Sayward Forest Canoe Route. The grounds include a small vehicle-accessible campground and a sandy beach area. While the main lake restricts motorized vessels, an adjacent short trail leads to Mohun Lake, which allows powerboats and offers a larger surface area for water sports.

Facilities remain basic, relying on pit toilets and a hand-pumped well. Campers need to pack in their own supplies and prepare for changing weather conditions under the thick forest canopy.
