Paul Lake Provincial Park

Paul Lake Provincial Park spans around a 6.5-kilometer lake with depths reaching 45 meters at an elevation of 770 meters above sea level.

The lake bears the name of Jean Baptiste Lolo, known as Chief St. Paul, who worked as an interpreter at Fort Kamloops for the Secwepemc people.

The introduction of rainbow trout to the previously fishless lake created a new relationship between local communities and this water resource.

The park provides designated camping areas, boat launches, picnic facilities, and hiking trails that connect visitors to different sections of the protected natural area.

Research studies on the lake's fish populations, particularly the interaction between rainbow trout and Redside shiners, contributed to freshwater ecology understanding.
