Provincial Park is a 238 hectare wilderness park
destination situated on the north shore of Niskonlith Lake located
southwest of Chase, British
Columbia, Canada. . Established in 1989, the park rests in the
Shuswap Highlands west of Mount Morrisey and east of the First
Nation lands of the Sahhaltkum people.
Being that the Niskonlith Park is a rugged destination, the campground
situated in the park operates on a first-come first-serve basis
and is considered a wilderness campsite meaning no modern electrical
services. Campers should be prepared to be self sufficient when
staying in this park.
Within the small campsite is a few pit toilets and roof top boat
launch. Only small boats permitted on Niskonlith Lake. The rainbow
and kokanee trout in Niskonlith Lake attracts the attention of
many fisherman, every year.
The park is also a popular destination for people who enjoy swimming,
hiking, canoeing, kayaking, scuba diving, camping, windsurfing,
boating and birdwatching. The park is located on the migratory
path of many birds heading north during the spring attracting
birdwatchers to the park.
During the winter months the unmanaged trails within the park
become snowshoeing cross country ski routes. Ice fishing is also
a good possibility some seasons, when the lake freezes over.
