Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park

Birkenhead Lake encompasses 4 square kilometers within a 104-square-kilometer protected area surrounded by mountains, forests, and wetlands in British Columbia.

The provincial park was founded in 1963 to establish a recreation zone between Pemberton Valley and Lillooet, with expansions in 1993 and 2008.

First Nations communities traditionally used this region for hunting and fishing, maintaining a strong connection to the land and its natural resources.

The park features 91 vehicle-accessible camping sites, equipped with fire pits and picnic tables, requiring advance reservations during peak summer months.

The lake contains a protected population of bull trout, distinct from Dolly Varden, alongside Rainbow Trout and Kokanee in waters reaching 38 meters deep.
