This
park has two day-use/picnic areas on Third lake called Main Beach and Camper’s
Beach. Fire pits and BBQ stands are not available. The main picnic area in the
Day Use area of the park has a covered picnic shelter.
Wheelchair accessible facilities include flush toilets in the toilet/change house building at
Main Beach day-use /picnic area. A paved viewing area of Third lake is located on the main road on route to the campground.
Potable well water is available for cooking and drinking.
Flush and pit toilets are located throughout the park.
During the collecting season a sani-station/dump is available near the campground entrance and a fee is charged for the service.
Sani-station Use Fee: $2.00 per discharge
Firewood can be purchased from the Park Facility Operator or you can bring your own wood.
The fee for firewood is $5.00 per bundle. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don't gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park. Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil. You can conserve firewood and air quality by keeping your campfire small. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented and some parks may use communal fire rings. Be prepared to bring a portable stove for cooking.
A
total of 6.5 km of gentle trails connects the lakes and circumnavigates the Second and
Third lakes. Facility development is concentrated around Third Lake. First and
Second lake remain in their natural states. There is also a trail that leads to a Lookout. For your own safety and preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to
the designated trails. Short cuts on trails destroys plant life and soil structure.
An adventure playground
complete with swing set, monkey bars and slide is located adjacent to the Camper's
beach at the west end of Third lake. The equipment is set in sand.
Sandy beaches provide excellent sunbathing and swimming opportunities. Caution: there is a sharp drop-off at the Main beach. There are no lifeguards on duty at provincial parks.
Canoes,
kayaks and rowboats are welcome. Both Second and Third Lakes have easy access
via the boat launches. An approximate 250 meter portage from the Second lake
boat launch is required to reach First Lake.
Launching
sites for canoes, kayaks and car-top boats are located across from the picnic
areas on Third lake and near the westerly end of Second lake. The Third lake boat launch is a single launch site with a concrete plank ramp. POWERBOATS ARE PROHIBITED ON ALL THREE LAKES. The shoreline along both boat launches is in its natural state and is therefore not developed for canoes, kayaks or boats to be beached overnight.
The
lakes have been stocked with rainbow trout. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. POWER BOATS ARE PROHIBITED. Check the BC Fishing Regulations Synopsis for quotas and restrictions.
Ice-fishing is allowed during the winter season.
Bicycles may use
the trails and roadways. Mountain bikers should always yield the right-of-way
to other trail users. Should you encounter hikers on any trail, please yield
the right-of-way. Helmets must be worn. Just outside of the park are good
cross-country skiing trails that are also suitable for mountain biking.
Pets/domestic
animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or
park buildings. There is no off leash area in this park. You are responsible
for your pets behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.
Viewpoints
are located at both Second and Third lakes as well as a lookout at the top of the Lookout
Trail that overlooks the park; all three locations have a park bench. Loons and Mallards
rearing young are common throughout the summer in addition to a large variety of forest bird species.
There are approximately 3 km of trails in the park. A local
ski club maintains tracks in the park throughout the winter months. There are
also snowshoeing opportunities in the park. There are also 4 km of trails
outside of the park.
Windsurfing is possible but the wind is not dependable.
