Mahood Lake Park
Warm Waters, Fishing Adventures, and Relaxing Beachfront
Nestled on the western end of Mahood Lake, this serene campground is perfect for families and fishing enthusiasts. As the only lake in Wells Gray that isn’t glacier-fed, its warmer waters make for a refreshing swimming experience. Anglers can enjoy trolling for Kokanee, whitefish, burbot, Rainbow, and lake trout, while fly-fishing opportunities abound in the Canim and Mahood rivers and nearby creeks.
Wells Gray Park: Mahood Lake
A Family-Friendly Escape with Warm Swimming Waters and Great Fishing
A quiet destination campground for families and for fishing – on the western end of Mahood Lake, the only lake in Wells Gray that isn’t glacier fed and so it warms up enough for pleasant swimming!
For the angler, the lake holds Kokanee, whitefish, burbot, Rainbow and lake trout. For anglers who want more excitement than lake trolling, the Canim and Mahood rivers, as well as several creeks, offer a multitude of opportunities for fly-casters.
For visitors who just want to relax, there are several hundred metres of beach and a shelving foreshore which invites swimming, wading and sunbathing.
