Purden Lake Provincial Park

Purden Lake Provincial Park in British Columbia lies east of Prince George along the north and east shores of Purden Lake. Established in August 1971, it covers 2,521 hectares and preserves a substantial lakeside landscape. The park gained particular significance in 2018, when it became the first accessible park in British Columbia after the addition of wheelchair ramps and specialist playground equipment. Its growing use, with BC Parks reporting visitor numbers rising from 45,449 in the 2016/17 season to 52,547 in 2017/18, reflects its importance as a popular regional destination and a notable step toward broader public access.
