Clark - Maloney Lakes Recreation Site

About this site

Description - Lassie Lake to Clark-Maloney Lakes The first few hundred metres of the Clark Lake trail follow an overgrown skid road through an old cutblock to a wire gate. Please leave the gate as you found it. Shortly after the gate the trail narrows and enters a forest of small lodgepole pine. The trail winds across the gently rolling forested landscape and crosses several muddy areas before reaching a junction at 1.75 km just before Clark Lake. Stay left at this junction and follow the trail for a short distance to the forested campsite on the east side of the lake. Clark Lake is a medium-sized lake with a shallow, weedy, muddy shoreline. There is good fishing in the lake. Fishers should consider bringing an inflatable boat or hip waders to reach deeper water. The trail continues along the south shore of Clark Lake past the developed campsite, and slowly swings eastward towards Maloney Lake, another 2 km distance. Description - Cup Lake to Maloney Lake The trail into Maloney Lake starts at the end of a small road in the middle of a cutblock. This trail is not signed and has not been maintained for some time. Look for orange markers on trees that mark the trail as it skirts the bottom of the cutblock and proceeds south. As the little-used trail nears the campsite on the south side of the lake it joins a road leading from a cutblock into the site. The campsite itself is located in a small grassy opening in the trees. Maloney Lake is small, muddy, and shallow. The shores are so marshy it is difficult to approach open water easily. However, the lake offers good trout fishing if you persevere.
