Ross Lake Provincial Park, Provincial park in Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, Canada.
Ross Lake Provincial Park is a protected forest area in British Columbia featuring a mountain lake surrounded by dense woodland covering roughly 307 hectares. The site has a marked hiking trail circling the water, a boat launch for electric motors, and a designated swimming beach for visitors.
The provincial government created this protected area on January 31, 1974, to safeguard the region's natural landscape. Its establishment occurred on the ancestral land of the Gitxsan First Nations, whose presence in the Skeena region extends back many centuries.
The Gitxsan people's connection to this land runs deep and shapes how the place is seen and cared for by the region's communities. This relationship to the forest and water remains visible in how the site is managed and respected by those who live nearby.
Access to the site is possible throughout the year, though winter snow can affect conditions and make trails harder to navigate. Visitors should bring appropriate gear and clothing suited to the wet, cool climate of the region.
The lake holds rainbow trout and brook trout that were introduced by the provincial government, supporting year-round fishing opportunities. These fish stocks have made the water a draw for anglers from across the wider region.
