Located in northern BC, the Sowchea Bay Provincial Recreation Area contains Stuart Lake where visitors fish for rainbow trout, lake char, burbot and kokanee. There is a boat launch on the lake and the area includes campsites with basic facilities that are open from May until September.
Stuart River Provincial Park encompasses three-quarters of the 110 km (68 mi) long Stuart River corridor. The river provides critical habitat for chinook and sockeye salmon and the surrounding corridor supports deer and elk winter ranges.
Stuart Lake Marine Provincial Park is located in north central British Columbia. This park is significant because the Stuart-Trembleur-Takla Lake boating system travels through the park, bringing with it prime canoeing and fishing adventures. The park offers little in terms of facilities, so all visitors should be prepared for a variety of conditions.
Mount Pope Provincial Park is a popular park with hikers and rockclimbers alike. The view from atop the peak down onto Stuart Lake provides the inspiration. 39 different climbing routes have been established throughout the park, offering varying challenges for climbers of differing abilities.
Established in 2001, this 41,000 hectare park is dotted with small lakes and wetlands. The park's terrain makes it prime habitat for ungulates, waterfowl and other wildlife species. The local lakes and streams are populated with lake char, kokanee salmon and rainbow trout, making the park popular with fishers. The park also features designated hiking trails.
