Purden Lake Provincial Park

Purden Lake Provincial Park extends across 2,521 hectares of forested land, featuring the north and east sides of the lake with mountain views.

The park, established in August 1971, was named after M.H. Purden Bell, a supervisor for Canadian Pacific National Railway surveyors in 1879.

Indigenous Peoples maintain strong connections to this land, which BC Parks recognizes through educational programs and historical preservation initiatives.

The park provides 78 campsites with paved roads, drinking water taps, and pit toilets, accepting reservations from May through September.

In 2018, this location became British Columbia's first accessible provincial park, introducing wheelchair ramps and specialized playground equipment.
