Location: Kitwancool Lake is found along the Stewart Cassiar Highway (Hwy 37), about 30 km north of the bridge over the Skeena River.

Note: We hiked in during the winter in a location not accessible to drive to the lake, so we have no other information at this time. We were in here (see screenshot below) We took that road in to the lower end of the lake.

The pins indicate where the photos were taken.

You have two choices the east side, from the highway, or you can take the Kitwancool Forest Service Road to the lake’s western side where the best camping spots are at.
