Route from Victoria to Francis Lake. Had to do a little searching for the entrance, but it occurs between the two lakes. Back roads map book wasn't too helpful finding the entrance. Once driving down the entrance, you cross one little creek and come to the main creek. You have to turn right and drive down the creek untill you get the to the lake. I went in March and the water level was too high to access. I might try again this summer.

Yea Francis lake is a beauty, though a bit crowded at times in the summer. Great for off-season when the water prevents the trailers and whatnot from going down there :)
It's been a very crowded place both times we went there (July 18 and July 31, 2015). Last night for example there 4 groups set up when we got there and one group had music loud, it was difficult to even talk 15m away, from where we considered setting up camp. Perhaps it could be better in cooler months.
yea we went once and there was a whole bunch of dudes fixing a 4runner, gave us some strong sense of not wanting us there...either way we just drove off, but it would def be nice if there was no one!
