Gwyneth Lake Park

Highlights in this park

Gwyneth Lake Park is located approximately 70 kilometres west of Lillooet and 60 kilometres north of Pemberton. It is considered a class A provincial park.

The park includes a small lake and marsh which provide habitat for species associated with aquatic habitat. It is situated on the Hurley-Carpenter Lake road tour route from the Lower Mainland and can cater to the destination and day-use needs of visitors to the Goldbridge-Bralorne area and provides opportunities for fishing, camping, picnicking as well as a base for hiking and ATV touring.

The 132 hectare park contains an old “Forest Service” style campground with six campsites and a pit toilet. All facilities are user-maintained.

Facilities

Campfires

If visitors require a campfire, keeping the campfire small can conserve firewood and air quality. Do not leave your campfire unattended. Please ensure the campfire is completely extinguished before leaving the area. Be prepared by bringing a portable stove for cooking.

To preserve vegetation and ground cover, it is prohibited to 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.

Campfire bans may be in place. Before lighting a fire, check for bans or restrictions on BC Wildfire Service and on local or Indigenous government websites.

Pit or flush toilets

There is one user maintained pit toilet. Visitors need to bring their own toilet paper.
