Premier Lake Provincial Park, Provincial park in Regional District of East Kootenay, Canada
Premier Lake Provincial Park contains five emerald lakes nestled within the Hughes Range of the Rockies, covering 837 hectares of forested terrain.
The park, established in 1940, received its name from William Smithe, who served as British Columbia Premier between 1883 and 1887.
Archaeological sites throughout the park indicate that Ktunaxa Indians established camps in this area for hunting and fishing activities.
The park offers 57 vehicle and tent campsites at the south end of Premier Lake, with 20 spots available through advance reservations.
The Kootenay Fish Hatchery collects trout eggs from the park's lakes to stock over 350 water bodies across British Columbia.
