From Prince George head west along Highway 16 past Vanderhoof until you meet Highway 27. Turn right (north) and follow until you reach the town of Fort St. James. The town of Fort St. James lies on the south-eastern tip of this lake, and is where the derby is held. But tere are numerous other access locations around the lake and three locations are profiled below. All come with a boat launch and are on the southern shore of Stuart Lake. Before crossing the Stuart River into Fort St. James (Highway 27), turn left (west) onto Sowchea Road. This road goes past two provincial parks‹Paarens Beach and Sowchea Bay. Paarens Beach has a concrete boat launch at the south end of the park, and Sowchea Bay has a single lane concrete boat launch with limited parking. The third access point is Whitefish Bay recreation site, located about half way up the lake, and is accessible by 2WD. Again, turn onto Sowchea Road and follow for about five km, then turn left (south) onto the Cunningham Forest Service Road. Follow this road for about 40 km, until you meet the Cunningham-Camsell FSR. Turn right (north), and follow it to the shores of Stuart Lake. The Whitefish Bay recreation site is an open site, with boat launch and space for 20 vehicle units. There are several other provincial parks around the lake, and for more information on these parks, got to the BC Parks website at www.bcparks.ca.
