Chain Lakes

Chain Lakes, also known as Owl Chain, is a recreation site near Pemberton, British Columbia, offering tent camping in a backcountry setting.

Access is via the Owl Creek Forest Service Road, reached by heading north on Highway 99 through Mount Currie toward D'Arcy and turning left approximately 4. 5 kilometres past Mount Currie.

A 4×4 vehicle is recommended, as the road is steep despite having been upgraded for logging. Drivers should travel roughly 8 kilometres to a posted area map, then continue straight across a bridge and up a steep grade to park at an old cut-block landing.

The Chain Lakes trailhead sits between a hairpin corner and the landing, at an elevation of approximately 1,224 metres.

From here, trails connect to nearby backcountry destinations including Little Owl Lake, Owl Lake, and Fowl Lake, the latter a roughly 10-kilometre return hike with 349 metres of elevation gain.
