Crystal Lake is home to one of B.C.'s excellent guest ranches, Crystal Waters Guest Ranch, offering western theme adventures, riding and log cabin accommodations. As a member of the BC Adventure Network, Crystal Waters Guest Ranch invites you to stay with them when planning a visit to the Crystal Lake area. The best months are in the spring, early summer and fall, with the peak time being May 1st to July 15th. The lake also produces well throughout the winter ice over period. Crystal is stocked with Rainbow trout.
Anglers enploy a number of techniques, including flies, and spinning or trolling gear.
The water is crystal clear and so long leaders of up to 20 feet are recommended. Watch for the frequent hatches and this often challenging lake can prove quite rewarding. Ideal for float tubes and canoes, this tranquil lake is not for the water ski or power boat enthusiast. Car toppers can be launched and rowing or electric motors are advised. No facilities are available and it is advisable to ask for specific directions for this lake off the Pendleton Lake Road.
