The people in the community of Rose Lake have come together providing a nice camp site. 

There are grassy spots to erect a tent on, there are pit toilets, picnic tables 

and a great covered area should the weather turn bad.

Rose Lake is a small, but beautiful lake to fish on, or you just 

might like to paddle around the lake. In summer you can jump 

in and go swimming or just lay back on a lawn chair and soak up the sun. 

So if you are planning a trip that will take you by Rose Lake, 

British Columbia make sure you stop by and take a break.

Rose Lake is an unincorporated community on the Yellowhead Highway in 

the Bulkley Valley region of northwestern British Columbia, Canada.

It's name is derived from the nearby water body Rose Lake.

Canadian National Railway just northeast of Bulkley Lake.
