Badger Lake is one of our favorite lakes to paddle.   To launch your boat in Badger Lake, take the road to Sun Peaks, then turn onto the Knouff Lake Road.   Continue past Sullivan/Knouff Lake and don't turn off on any of the side roads.   An intersection is reached, but continue straight through and around the lake.   The road leads to a BC Recreation Site on the east shore.   There is a good boat launch, used mainly by fishermen and paddlers. 

All of the shoreline is interesting, but the best parts of the lake to paddle are the back bays on the west side, sometimes called Spooney Lake.   The area is shallow and surrounded by marshes.   There are often birds and sometimes deer or moose grazing in the shallows.   The entire loop is 7km to 9km, depending on how you choose to do the back areas.   The whole area is usually quiet and peaceful, perfect for a day of paddling.
