Green Lake Provincial Park, British Columbia

The lake itself is 14 kilometres long, averaging 1.5 kilometres in width with an irregular shoreline of approximately 57 kilometres. The low flushing rate combined with the chemical composition in these warm shallow waters creates a greenish hue, hence the name.

A motorboat or canoe can be used to explore the shores and islands of this park making bird and wildlife viewing opportunities excellent. Local business operators provide boat rentals, supplies and even horseback riding.
