Ross Lake BC Canada

Ross Lake is a large water body where the Skagit River flows into near the US border at the Skagit Valley Provincial Park. The lake offers a short window of fishing opportunities between July 1st and October 31st, but it is an ideal location for those who wish to combine camping and fishing. The lake is relatively shallow and its trout and char are usually easy to entice. Combining these features with the breathtaking view, it is easy to understand why many from Vancouver choose this as their weekend destination.
