what to expect

Off the beaten track, you’ll find tree-bordered Allison Lake. This is a desirable spot for swimmers and those who love to fish. The park is known for its spectacular stands of aspen that burst into golden colours in the fall. Allison Lake Park is a great overnight spot when travelling between Merritt and Princeton.
