Very nice off beaten path. 9 hours from Vancouver via more than 100km of unpaved road.
Awesome scenery.
Best lake I’ve been in British Columbia, beautiful cold turquoise water and calm. Be aware that is grisly country so be prepared

Ts'ilʔos Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. Ts'ilʔos (/ˈsaɪlɒs/SY-loss; roughly [t͡sʼelʔos] in Chilcotin) is the official BC Parks designation for this provincial park, though sometimes it is written as "Ts'il-os", "Ts'yl-os", or "Tsylos". The "ʔ" in the name represents a glottal stop.
The park was established January 1994 after a five-year planning process was implemented to address long-standing conflicts between preservationist, resource extraction and First Nations interests. After decades of controversy, a consensus was reached among various conservation, logging, mining, tourism and public participants. Chief Roger William of the Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah Indian Band) was very involved in the planning process and negotiations with the provincial government. The park is part of the traditional territory of the Xeni Gwet’in. Ts'ilʔos, also known as Mount Tatlow, dominates the park and gives it its name, and is spiritually significant to the Xeni Gwet’in. According to tradition, Ts'ilʔos keeps watch over the people of the Xeni and their territory. Pointing at or climbing Ts'ilʔos are considered disrespectful, and the Xeni Gwet’in believe that doing so will offend Ts'ilʔos, resulting in severe weather changes.
