Babine Lake Marine Provincial Park

Babine Lake Marine Provincial Park spans 492 hectares across six distinct locations along the shores of British Columbia's longest natural freshwater lake.

The park's Pendleton Bay area was first settled in 1914 and later developed with a wharf in the 1940s to manage increasing freight traffic.

The region holds deep connections to First Nations communities who have utilized the lake's resources and established settlements along its shores for generations.

Visitors can access the park through multiple routes, including a 105-kilometer drive northeast of Smithers via Highway 16 and Nilkitkwa forestry service road.

The park's waters support rainbow trout reaching weights of 5.5 kilograms and char growing up to 9 kilograms, making it a prime fishing destination.
