There is an adventure playground in the day-use area near the beach.

Boat launch

A double-wide, cement ramp boat launch is provided at the day-use area. Waterskiing is very popular at Lac La Hache.

Sani-station

A sani-station and dump is available during the collecting season. The fee is $5 per discharge.

Campfires

Campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite. We encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood can be purchased in the park or you may bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary from park to park. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. 

To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.

Picnic areas

This park has a day-use and picnic area. There is a covered shelter with picnic tables, a wood stove, changehouses, pit and flush toilets, cold water taps, as well as fire pits. There is an adventure playground in the day-use area and horseshoe pits located in the campground. The gate to the day-use area is locked between 11pm and 8am.

Group picnicking is $35 per group. Reservations are available from May 15 to September 30.

 

Pit or flush toilets

Pit and flush toilets are located throughout the park.

Hiking

The Wagon Road self-guided nature trail is 2km long. It provides an opportunity to learn about nature as well as the Gold Rush history of the area. For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.

There are no lifeguards on duty. A wide, sandy beach welcomes visitors and an area is roped off for swimming. Changing rooms, an open air shower and washrooms are provided.

Fishing

This is an excellent fishing lake for kokanee, lake and rainbow trout as well as burbot during the summer months. Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence.

Pets on leash

Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs due to the potential for problems with bears and other wildlife. 

Cycling

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 Lac La Hache Park. E-bikes are restricted to park roads and areas where motorized use is permitted. The only exception to this policy will be for authorized and identified trail maintenance bikes conducting work on behalf of BC Parks.
