It seems that this is not a very popular place for tourist yet. So Hotel staff was a little surprised with my request. Initially, when I told him about Thousand Island Lake, he cannot get me. Then when I showed him the map, he understood and told me this place has only started to become popular last year (2016). But still, not very well known as it is still relatively new.
