Maps and location
Getting there
Duck Lake Protected Area is located 5 km east of Powell River, just south of Haslam Lake.
Things to do
The Protected Area has approximately 9 km of good hiking and mountain biking trails which provide excellent wildlife and scenic viewing opportunities. All are well-marked, off of the main Duck Lake Road.
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.
Swimming is permitted; however, the shoreline is rocky with no sandy beach.
There are no lifeguards on duty in BC Parks.
There are fishing opportunities in this park.
Anyone fishing in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. To learn more, see the fishing and hunting guide.
