Smithers Landing Site is one of six sites that comprises Babine Lake Marine Park. These sites all lie along the shores of Babine Lake and include Pendleton Bay, Hook (Deep) Bay, Pinkut Creek, Pierre Creek, and Sandpoint sites.
Campsites nestled along the lakeshore make this a scenic camping spot. This park is ideal for those wanting a slower pace and a great area for fishing or boating.

Wood ticks are most prevalent between March and June. These parasites live in tall grass and low shrubs, and seek out warm-blooded hosts. As potential carriers of disease, they should be avoided.
