Ness Lake is a lake in British Columbia's Northern Interior. Located 35 km (22 mi) northwest of the city of Prince George, it is a popular destination for fishing, swimming and other recreational activities. The lake has a distinctive shape, as it is divided into three larger "basins" (Southwest, Central and East), which are connected to one another via smaller, narrow portions of lake. The Eastern and Central Basins have the greatest amount of development (including Ness Lake Bible Camp [1] and a public beach). Meanwhile, the Southwest Basin features a wetland.[2][3]
