New upgrades to the Edwards Lake campground are complete, thanks to a partnership between the Columbia Basin Trust and Yaq̓it ʔa·knuqⱡi ‘it First Nation.
Known for attracting families, bird watchers, and campers, it’s been long sought after for its pristine nature, shallow waters, and picturesque mountain views, according to the Trust.
Nasuʔkin Heidi Gravelle is also calling the area culturally important to her people.
The lake is highly utilized by the membership in both the summer and winter months for recreational and cultural activities, Nasuʔkin Gravelle added.
Upgrades include a new gate entranceway, floating dock, washroom, and playground equipment.
Other new additions: metal picnic tables, an outdoor grill, fresh beach sand, and fire pits.
Edwards Lake is about 30 minutes south of Elko, just off Highway 93.
