Located south of Vanderhoof, Finger Lake Resort is a great wilderness getaway for almost any occasion from weddings, honeymoons, family vacations and reunions. I had a great experience here with a couple of my friends. They have really great cabins available for use there, tenting is available, and RV access as well. Since Finger Lake Resort is the only road access to Finger Lake, you are quite at peace with nature out there and have no worry of any disturbances. They also have lake access for boats, which you can also rent as well, with really great fishing available. While out on the lake we were able to see many loons, some amazing pelicans, hawks, eagles, and while we did not see them, there are apparently moose that make a regular appearance in the shallow marshes of the lake. Also in the same area are some amazing waterfalls. Two of which are Greer Creek Falls and Cheslatta Falls. Hiking into both these falls are quite easy and a great short walk in. If you are going to make it to Finger Lake then you might as well visit both of these waterfalls as well because they are along the way there. They are a great way to spend the afternoon. Great for fishing and a weekend getaway, Finger Lake was well worth the visit. It was a very relaxing trip and I hope to make it back there again very soon.
