Whitetail Lake is located in the East Kootenays, approximately 28 km northwest of Canal Flats, BC. The lake has a surface area of approximately 1.66 km2 with approximately 10 km of shoreline. The lake is moderately productive and has a large littoral area covering approximately 77% of its basin. There is a BC Recreation Site on the west side of the lake and all other properties around the lake are privately held.
