== Use and Access==
The Pemberton Wildlife Association (PWA) is responsible for the maintenance and management of trails and recreation sites within the Tenquille - Owl Lakes Recreation Area through an agreement with the Provincial Government. The PWA's mandate is to maintain the area for the purpose of recreational and conservation activities and provide safe, navigable trails into a wilderness environment for all non-motorized users. In winter, snowmobilers may use the Tenquille cabin as the local snowmobile club contributed funds to the construction. Club volunteers work hard to open up trails in the Spring, clearing brush fallen/overhanging logs and conducting repairs throughout the season till early winter. Funding for materials and cabin supplies is provided by the PWA. Donations gratefully accepted. The provincial government also helps with supplies and work on projects beyond PWA resources such as FSR and branch road upkeep. You can send your donations to the PWA at PO Box 343, Pemberton, BC  V0N 2L0. Commercial use is not permitted.
To coordinate use for a better likely hood of arriving and not having to tent, our Hut Registration Board can be used. Keep in mind that most likely don't use our registration board.

The cabin is situated at the western edge of the lake, at the foot of Copper Mound. There are three routes that lead to Tenquille Lake, two from Pemberton Meadows and one from Birkenhead. See route descriptions from [http://www.clubtread.com/routes/Route.aspx?Route=279 ClubTread]. Note that this is a bear-active area. Follow the proper bear aware procedures when hiking in this area.
Download waypoints for all three approach trails here: [[media:TenquilleLake.gpx]]. Note that recent hikers (Mar 2015) attempted to find the trail starting from the end of Branch 12 off the Hurley FSR following these waypoints and had to turn back approximately 2km from the cabin due to unpassable terrain.
== Facilities ==
The information on this page is just a snapshot. See the [[Hut Inventory]] Page for complete information on tools and materials at the Hut. Some kitchen stuff is available (pots and pans, plates and mugs, cutlery). All kitchenware must stay inside the hut - not to be used outside.
