Parksville lake is not too hard to find. As Pointer has said just get on hwy.64 East and go about 15 or 16 miles to the lake. There are two ramps on the lake. The easiest to find is just past the forest service office on Highwy 64. Its a little close quarters but still the best ramp there. There is another one that is called Kings slough. Its a good lake and fairly stable year round.
