Birkenhead Lake Camping, Pemberton - VLOG #28
Birkenhead lake is located just outside of Pemberton, BC. The area is a provincial park and campsite surrounded by stunning mountain peaks and think forest. Bears are very common in the area and the parks staff will ask all guests to take every precaution to not leave garbage and food around the campsites.
The drive from Vancouver is about 3.5 hours depending on traffic. The last 20 minutes of the drive is on a gravel road that is well maintained and shouldn't be an issue for low clearance vehicles.
The lake itself is a photographers dream come true. If the wind is light the lake looks like absolute glass and is surrounded by rugged peaks that are the epitome of BC wilderness. If you go before July you'll also get an added bonus of snow caps on the surrounding mountains. The lake is glacier fed so don't expect a warm plunge but it's extremely refreshing if you are brave enough to jump in.
The lake is also a popular fishing spot and you will see small boats take to the water to try their luck. We brought a fleet of inflatable boats and had the best time lounging in with some beverages.

Birkenhead Lake, BC | 2015
Birkenhead Lake is about a four hour drive north of Vancouver, BC and is an amazing getaway location.
The lake is fed by mountain runoff streams, which are great for cooling off in the midday heat. There are also shallow areas away from the streams that the sun warms and are enjoyable for longer swims.
The park also rents out canoes at $50 for four hours. This is plenty of time and super convenient if you aren't hauling your own boat around.

Birkenhead Lake Camping June 14 to 17, 2019
4 glamping trips this year and all of them places we had never been to before, this place being one of them. We were close to a river which drowned out the sound from other sites. All of our sites had their own water features, while nice, it does bring some mosquito's. Good weather, good company and lots of firewood! Will be back here me thinks.

Fishing in May Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park
Fishing in May Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park. May has some of the best fishing in Birkenhead Lake because the lake is now free of ice and the water is beginning to warm. The Campsite is yet to open but the overflow campground is open. There is approximately 10 stalls in the overflow. This is the best time to camp there because there are no bugs yet. The temperature can still drop as low as freezing this time of year at Birkenhead lake because of its elevation. Birkenhead lake is nearly 3000 feet in elevation. Do not forget that there is zero retention of Bull Trout in Birkenhead Lake. The Pemberton Fish Finder has exclusive Guiding rights on this lake so if you would like to give fishing a go here check us out

Birkenhead Lake best fishing in British Columbia Canada
Birkenhead Lake best fishing in British Columbia Canada. The gate to Birkenhead Lake provincial park is now open for the season. The park operators are busy cleaning the park, removing fallen trees and clearing debris from the trails. They should have the park open for the May long weekend. As of now the overflow campground is open for people to camp. Birkenhead lake is known for producing very large Bull Trout. Although Bull Trout are catch and release in Birkenhead Lake you can still fish for them. Always handle them with the upmost care and return them to the lake in a speedily fashion to reduce damaging impacts. The lake also has a healthy population of Rainbow Trout and Kokanee. Kokanee are a staple food for these trophy sized Bull Trout. This being said imitate the size and color of the Kokanee and this will produce large fish in Birkenhead Lake. Fishing Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park
There are numerous good locations to fish Birkenhead Lake from shore. Two of my favorite spots are at the mouths of Phelix Creek and Sockeye Creek. Phelix Creek is located at the North end of the lake and is a short walk from the picnic area. Sockeye Creek is a 35 Minute walk up the West side of Birkenhead Lake. Both of these areas listed will produce Trophy sized Bull Trout, Rainbow Trout and Kokanee. I have witnessed numerous quality fish caught right off of the dock at Birkenhead lake provincial park. The lake also has a paved boat launch suitable for boats up to 18' in length. Hiking in Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park
Wilderness Trail:
A 2-kilometre hiking trail through old growth forest leads to a flat, treed area with views of the mountains across the lake and views back of the day use area beaches. A short section connects with the Birkenhead Lake Trail, allowing for a longer hike or a loop back to the trailhead. Caution Note: The lakeside Wilderness Trail and the Birkenhead Lake Trail: approximately 1.0 km from the trail head at the parking lot, both of these trails cross a 50 metre section of a rock debris avalanche path. Trail users must use caution when crossing over loose rock rubble and may be required to ford the stream. Crossings should be avoided during periods of prolonged, heavy rain.
Birkenhead Lake Trail:
The 8-kilometre trail to Birkenhead Lake Estates at the south end of the lake joins up with Birkenhead Road and Tenas Valley logging road. This trail is used by both hikers and cyclists. There may also be horseback riding on the west half of the Birkenhead Lake trail up to Sockeye Creek. Motorized vehicles are not permitted on this trail.
Goat Lookout Trail:
This 1-kilometre trail on the south side of the valley is a bit rough and steep in places, but offers a view of the lake at it’s end and in the spring and fall mountain goats may be seen on the cliffs above the campground. Cautionary Note: During the spring snow melt (April - June), Phelix Creek water levels rise and may crest the log bridge approximately 100 metres from the start of the trail. High water conditions may require temporary seasonal closure of the trail. Best you otherwise hike the trail in the mornings during May and June.
