Lakelse Lake Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada located just west of Highway 37 between Terrace and Kitimat.[1] The name is derived from the Coast Tsimshian language word "LaxGyels" - “fresh water mussel”, for the mollusk that is found on the bottom of both Lakelse Lake and Lakelse River. Prior to Lakelse Lake becoming a provincial park, Hatchery Creek, which runs throughout the park, was the site of a sockeye salmon hatchery operated by the Canadian Government between 1919 and 1936. Lakelse Lake Provincial Park was established on March 16, 1956.
The park is 3.54 km² in size and is primarily used for camping, boating, canoeing, swimming and nature trail walking.
The nearby Lakelse Hot Springs are located just east of the lake.[2] Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
