Lundbom
Lake is a beautiful, large
remote recreation lake nestled in the back country desert hills
located east of the community of Merritt, BC, Canada. The lake
is a popular destination for many activities like fishing, hiking,
canoeing and camping when exploring the countryside near Sugarloaf
Mountain.
The wilderness campground on the shores of Lundbom
Lake is one of the larger recreation campsites in the region.
The campground is divided into two sections - totally 37 campsites.
Some of the campsites hide under the cover of trees while others
enjoy lakeside exposure.
The recreation wilderness campsite provides very
little or no services. The campsite enjoys tenting, trailer and
RV campsites. It is a paid campsite with park managers onsite.
Each campsite includes a picnic table and a fire pit. And in various
locations throughout the campground, hidden in the trees, there
is some pit toilets.
The best boat access to Lundbom Lake is via the
roof-top boat launch located on the east side of the lake. The
lake is a popular destination for fishing. Most fisherman arrive
at the boat launch with a canoe or an aluminum boat.
There is allot of room to fish on this 47 hectare
lake stocked with Rainbow Trout. Trolling the lake is the most
used fishing technique, although some do fly fish from the shores
in late June and in the fall. Please check first for the bait
and fishing restrictions placed on this lake.
On the opposite side of the lake from the campground
is a drive through day use area with a few picnic tables and many
great views of the lake. From the campground is a hiking trail
which connects to some of the larger regional hiking routes like
the Hogsback, Tent Lake and Coco Bonk Trails.
Prior to arriving at Lundbom Lake is another lake
named Marquart Lake. Marquart Lake
is the first recreation lake and wilderness campground on the
gravel road traveling to Lundbom Lake.
