Hucuktlis (pictured left) formerly Henderson Lake is a very very wet place. On average this area of BC per annum gets a rainfall amount equal to 7 Meters, 21 Feet of rain. Rain of course is measured in Millimeters so w would say that the rainfall equals 9,307 mm or 366 inches, or more accurately 30 feet! That is just nuts LOL.
Hucuktlis (pronounced “who-chook-tlis”) Lake means place way inside and is the home of the first nations people known as the Uchucklesaht. They live in the area and perform ceremonies honoring the Thunderbird a legendary creature that flaps it's wings to create thunder and flashes it's eyes to produce lightning.

This is not an area to just go and wander around there are bears and other wild animals in the area. Also it's isolated, only accessed by water and on foot.
Take a look at Google Maps the lake is remote very very remote. Note the map shows the old Henderson Lake place name.
