Things to do
Anglers will enjoy the challenge of fishing for rainbow trout and char in the wilderness area of Babine Lake.
Anyone fishing in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. To learn more, see the fishing and hunting guide.
Pets/domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. There are no off-leash areas. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement.
Bicycles must keep to roadways. Bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia.
Please note that bicycles with electric assist motors (e-bikes) are not allowed on the trails within Babine Lake Marine Park. E-bikes are restricted to park roads and areas where motorized use is permitted.

Facilities
There is a gravel/brick boat launch with a moderate grade available at this park. There is limited parking available for boat trailers. It is not recommended to leave a trailer parked or boat moored overnight.
Campfires are permitted but firewood is not provided.
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. Be prepared to bring a portable stove for cooking.
Potable water is not provided at this park. Visitors must bring their own water.
This park only has pit toilets – no flush toilets.
