The Pemberton Wildlife Association (PWA) and many Pemberton community volunteers built and have maintained the trails accessing Tenquille Lake and tent sites. For decades, lake side tenting was self-managed by users and dedicated volunteers from the PWA - site maintenance, installation of urine diverting toilets, countless hours of trail building and maintenance - are all the work of the Pemberton volunteers. The PWA takes great pride in what the volunteers have built, as our guest please show appreciation for their hard work by respecting the Rec Site, the surrounding area and those who share the area with you.
The Tenquille to Owl Lakes Recreation Area is a Special Place!
