Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park

Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park in British Columbia’s Lillooet Country was established in 1963 between the Pemberton Valley and Lillooet as both a recreation and conservation area, then expanded in 1993 and 2008 to protect more of the Sockeye Creek watershed. Centered on Birkenhead Lake and covering 104.39 square kilometres, it lies near Birkenhead Peak, Gates Lake, and the community of Birken. The park supports mountain goats, moose, snowshoe hare, black bears, and grizzly bears, while its waters contain Rainbow Trout, Kokanee, and protected bull trout often mistaken for Dolly Varden. With campsites and a lakeside beach, it combines public access with natural protection.
