Nadsilnich Lake (locally known as West Lake) is located about 15 km southwest of Prince George. It is a popular recreation lake for the greater Prince George area.

The pine beetle infestation has hit our area very hard and we have a lot of dead pine in the lake watershed. The Fraser Fort George Regional District is embarking on a 'fire proofing' endeavour where they plan to harvest dead pine wherever possible within their jurisdiction. Our community association property is one that will see some dead pine harvesting.

Along the west side of the lake there is a subdivision created in the 1960's that consists of 23 small lots. Since 2001 we have been working toward getting a community sewage system to serve these lots. As it is predominately clay soils in our area, the traditional drain field septic systems do not work all that well and some have failed, putting the lake water quality at risk. As these small lots will not accommodate a lagoon, our only choice is to put in a community sewage system. Construction of this system started in 2007 and will be in operation in 2008.

Our Community Association has participated in water quality monitoring through the Ministry of Environment in past years and we have provided Secchi disk readings for several years. We have also provided ice on/off data for the past 18 years. As well, local volunteers clean up the shoreline of any human created debris.
