Babine Lake Marine Park – Pinkut Creek 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, Smithers Landing, Pierre Creek, and Sandpoint sites.
The sites provide anchorage, scenic lakeshore viewscapes, beaches and fish-bearing creeks and provide access to internationally-significant fishing opportunities along 200 km of waterways on the largest natural lake entirely within BC.
The Pinkut Creek Site is adjacent to the Pinkut Creek spawning channel, and includes a small, rustic, road accessible campsite in a bay.
The Pinkut Creek Site is in a wilderness area that is frequented by bears. Visitors are required to keep a clean campsite and should be familiar with bear safety.
Bring your own drinking water; potable water is not available in the park.
The Pinkut Creek Site is located on the shore of Babine Lake, northeast of Burns Lake.
The small marine sites lie within the asserted traditional territory of the Ned’u’ten Nation, Carrier Sekani Tribal Council, and the Yekooche First Nation.
Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence.
The park is open to hunting. Please consult the Hunting & Trapping Regulations Synopsis for more information.
