There are many remote lakes on the Bonaparte Plateau.    Tsintsunko Lake can be reached on foot from backroads.    One day we hiked from the Jolly Lake trailhead to Jolly Lake and then beyond to Tsintsunko Lake.    Old fishing cabins were found on the shoreline, accessed by a rough ATV track.    We hiked back on the track and backroads.

On another day some years later, we hauled our kayaks in to the lake on carts on a different rough track to paddle and fish the lake.  Since then a forest fire has burnt much of the forest in the plateau.    Nevertheless, another visit is planned, this time with a folding kayak.    Watch KamloopsTrails.ca or kamloopskayak.com for a story later in 2024.
