Gwillim Lake Provincial Park
Gwillim Lake Provincial Park, Provincial park in Peace River Regional District, Canada
The 32,326-hectare park contains a deep blue lake surrounded by the Hart Ranges and Rocky Mountain Foothills in northeastern British Columbia.
Professor John Cole Gwillim, for whom the lake was named in 1921, explored coal deposits in the region while teaching mining at Queen's University.
Archaeological findings reveal seasonal hunting camps established by First Nations groups who followed migrating animals through this region.
Visitors can access the park via Highway 29, located 45 kilometers northwest of Tumbler Ridge between the towns of Chetwynd and Tumbler Ridge.
The Pat O'Reilly Outdoor Environmental Studies Centre operates on the south side of Gwillim Lake for educational programs through School District 59.
