Otter Lake Provincial Park is a smaller park (51 hectares) on Coalmont Road in the interior of BC. It has a day use area at the south end of the lake, with a lovely swimming beach and picnic grounds. The campground is about 5 km up the lake and also has a beach. The lake is popular for fishing and water-skiing as well as swimming.
