Anderson Lake is a large, long lake tucked away in the wilderness back country mountain hills located west of the community of Lillooet, British Columbia, Canada. The vast region enjoys many lakes with Anderson Lake being one of the more popular recreational lakes in the region for boating, fishing, water skiing, windsurfing, canoeing and mountain biking.

The lake does butt up tight against massive rock cliffs in many areas, thus exposing very little shoreline therefore providing limited access - only two in fact. Near the Village of D'Arcy located at the south end of the lake is a public dock, campground and a boat launch providing access to the lake. At the northern tip of the lake near the Village of Seton Portage is another boat launch.

The southern tip of Anderson Lake is accessed by a paved road via the community of D'Arcy. However the rest of the lake and the community of Seton Portage is accessed by a rough 4x4 seasonal gravel road which travels along high elevation rock bluffs. This route provides spectacular scenery of the valley but is only enjoyed safely riding an off road vehicle.

The rough gravel road extends from south to north, from D'Arcy to Seton Portage, 33 kilometres (21 miles). It travels along the west side of the lake. The gravel route is referred to as the Highline Road and is a very popular route for dirt biking and atving in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter.

From Seton Page the gravel roads explore, even, further into the back country wilderness leading to other lakes and rivers - eventually connecting with Lillooet, BC. For the truly adventurous sightseer, the gravel road route leads to Seton Lake, Carpenter Lake, Gun Creek and Bridge River Valley.

There is a fish hatchery operating on Anderson Lake. A good sign that there is fishing in the area. In particular, most arrive at the lake to fish for rainbow trout and dolly varden. Research shows trolling is the most effective technique on the lake since there is very little shoreline.

How to get to Anderson Lake: To access the southern tip of Anderson Lake first travel to the Village of D'Arcy via the same road leading to Birkenhead Park. D'Arcy is located 42 kilometers (26 miles) north-east of Pemberton. To access the northern tip of Anderson Lake to the Village of Seton Portage access the 4x4 only Highline Road.
