Has anyone been to Lake Timk below Mt. Anne? Am interested in potential as campsite, time to get there, difficulty etc. Cheers.

Hi Buddy
Haven't been to Timk, but talked a lot about it with a friend who did it a while ago. I suspect that it is a very long day or more and I would expect that the track gets pretty vague after the NE Ridge turn off - lack of traffic! I gather that camping is ok near the lake and the view of Anne would be a stunner first thing in the morning in good weather.
I've been told that no creek flows out of the lake - the water flows out through a sink hole and this is sometimes visible from the logs that are jammed in it. Looks as if there is a small beach at the eastern end.
