Helen Lake (Houston) Of note, look at the video, the overcrowding is horrendous and 100% due to most lakes in our region do not having camping facilities. A massive opportunity is missed by a government that does not care about anything north of Hope. The NDP take the money from logging and run off with it instead of reinvesting it for our own children to enjoy nature. This lake is absolutely gorgeous, and without a crowd there and a wonderful place for a family camp out.
