Firstly GaryKH..there as many spellings for that lake as Cheerios in the bowl, apparently. Borel, Boreal....but to get there and to access a bunch more, look at your mapping o Google or Backroads BC, looking for the left turn onto Francois Lake Rd, just at the west end of Fraser Lake. Following thr road maybe 5? ks, just before it bears right around the lake, you are hooking left onto a major dirt logging road. You have to follow your intincts and work your way thru a bit of an unmarked maze that you will wonder about, but if if you have a GPS, see that you are working your way to the other side of Francois Lake, just around the foot. It was quite straight forward, and of you have to turn and retrace, it's not a big deal. You haven't gone far anyway. Once you get onto Nithi Pit Road...you are rollin...

The rec site we were at was Burner Bay. Only 3 sites, but if you can't get in there, don't worry....there are 100's of rec sites all along those lakes.
Feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks! That's a beautiful area. We've been to Takysie Lk (sp?)before & it was awesome. In fact, the whole area south of Francois Lk. is great.
