Trapper lake is located in southern B.C. near the Canada/U.S. border, west of Cathedral Provincial park. It is in a beautiful alpine setting near timberline. There is lots of grass and water for horses, good fishing, and it is mostly level around the lake. To get there, turn off Highway 3 at Copper creek, a few kilometers from the eastern boundary of Manning Park. Travel on the Placer Mountain forest service road to about 2 or 3 kilometers from Placer lake. This road is fairly wide until the last few kilometers and is easily traveled with a horse trailer. It is a mountain road used by logging trucks, so check your brakes before leaving home and keep a close watch for trucks. The last part of the road to the lake is not suitable for horse trailers. There are several places to park your rig by the roadside as you approach Placer lake, including a good campsite alongside Placer creek.
