Visit responsibly
Follow these guides to ensure your activities are safe, respectful, and ecologically friendly:
Maps and location
Getting there
Located approximately 70 kilometres west of Lillooet and 60 kilometres north of Pemberton, accessed from the Hurley Forest Service Road.
Camping
Frontcountry camping
The area can accommodate six or seven camping parties. All campsites are on a first come, first serve basis. Reservations are not accepted.
The sites are very rustic. There are log-style tables, rock fire rings and a user maintained pit toilet. There is no fee. There are no other facilities at this park. Please note the road to this park can be very muddy in wet weather.
Things to do
Gwyneth Lake is popular for trout fishing.
Anyone fishing in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. To learn more, see the fishing and hunting guide.
Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash at all times. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement.
Facilities
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.
Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples
BC Parks honours Indigenous Peoples’ connection to the land and respects the importance of their diverse teachings, traditions, and practices within these territories. This park webpage may not adequately represent the full history of this park and the connection of Indigenous Peoples to this land. We are working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples to update our websites so that they better reflect the history and cultures of these special places.
