New dock for Gwillim Lake Provincial Park
TUMBLER RIDGE—The COVID-19 pandemic may have British Columbians discovering the beauty of the province this summer, and there’s a new dock to visit this year.The B.C. Park Foundation is announcing the construction of a new dock at Gwillim Lake Provincial Park. The new dock was made possible through a donation by Conuma Coal Resources Ltd.
“Gwillim Lake Park is a stunning, wild playground for nature lovers and we know park visitors will put the structure to good use.”—Andrew Day, Chief Executive Officer, B.C. Parks Foundation
The new dock spans 18 metres into the clear waters of Gwillim Lake, and sits close to the campground on the north-west side of the lake.The B.C. Parks Foundation says that the new structure was installed on May 15, and will largely be used by boaters as they load and unload, and tie off their vessels. The previous dock will be used primarily as a fishing platform.
