Fishing

Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. Please see BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis for site-specific information.

Popular sport fish include rainbow trout, lake trout (char), kokanee, freshwater ling cod (burbot), and mountain whitefish. Refer to the current BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis for specific catch quotas and regulations. The Stuart-Trembleur-Takla chain of waterways is in Region 7 (Omineca-Peace) Zone A.

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 or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.

Cycling

Cycling is permitted. Helmets are mandatory in British Columbia and must be worn at all times.

Please note that bicycles with electric assist motors (e-bikes) are not allowed on the trails within Stuart Lake 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.

Hunting

Hunting is permitted only during lawful game hunting season. Check with Hunting and Trapping Synopsis for regulations.
