Abbot Lake Recreation Site is a small, free recreation area located northwest of Merritt in British Columbia's Nicola Valley. The site offers three vehicle-accessible campsites with basic amenities including tables and toilets, situated on the northeast side of Abbott Lake. Access is via Tyner Lake Forest Service Road, with rough conditions that may challenge larger or towed units. Popular activities include fishing, canoeing, and boating on the lake. The somewhat remote location provides a peaceful backcountry camping experience for tent campers and small truck campers seeking quieter surroundings.
