Green Lake Provincial Park

Green Lake Provincial Park is a nature reserve in central British Columbia that centers on a large freshwater lake surrounded by coniferous forest and grassland. The park protects diverse habitats and serves as an important natural area in the region.

The park was established in 1975 as part of efforts to protect natural areas in British Columbia. Indigenous groups lived in the region long before this official designation.

Indigenous peoples utilized the lands around Green Lake for generations before the area became a designated provincial park in British Columbia.

The lake is suitable for fishing, boating, and camping, with trout populations attracting anglers throughout the year. Visitors should prepare for different conditions depending on the season, as the park offers distinct activities in winter and summer.

The frozen lake surface becomes a recreation area during winter months for ice fishing and snowshoeing. This seasonal change makes the park feel like two different places depending on when you visit.
