Saul Lake

Kamloops Trails Posted on by

Saul Lake is on the Sawmill Lake Forest Service Road about 30 km northwest from Kamloops.   A short drive leads to a boat launch and an open spot for camping.

The whole area is very open with cutblocks and replanted areas all around.   There are also extensive marshes to the east.

The bays on the east side are full of water lilies.

Moose sometimes eat all the lily buds, but there were a few starting to bloom on the east end of the lake.

A channel leads to the eastern marshes.

There were loons and ospreys on the lake, always a sign that there are fish in the lake.

The paddle around the shoreline of the lake is about 3.3 km.   Given the traveling distance to this lake, paddlers may want to combine Saul Lake with another lake like Truda (7 km away) or Tranquille Lake (13 km farther).   Saul Lake is a very pleasant paddle so 2 loops might be just as good a choice.

About KamloopsTrails

I started exploring this area in 1976 and I continue to follow tracks and routes wherever they lead, with the aid of map, compass, GPSr and camera. After many dead-ends, but also many discoveries, I chose to share this information. Getting out 12 months each year, I continue to explore trails, tracks, routes, and waterways of the Kamloops area and beyond.
