Paul Lake Provincial
Park is known for its beautiful scenery and wide variety of recreational
activities. The park's large lakeshore campground is as popular
with RVers as the extensive picnic grounds and adventure playground
are with day trippers.
Easy access,
beautiful scenery, plentiful fishing, over 7 kilometers of hiking
trails, and a diversity of outdoor recreational activities make
the 670-hectare Paul Lake Provincial Park a popular destination.
The trails
take you from the lakeshore up a gentle grade through a mature Douglas-fir
forest to the summit of Gibraltar Rock, 900 meters in elevation.
The last portion of the trail (about 300 metres) is somewhat steep
but there are rest stops along the way. The summit affords spectacular
views of Paul Lake and Harper Mountain. You can take the alternate
return route by way of the campground. When hiking to Gibraltar
Rock, remember that there are dangerously steep cliffs at the top
of the bluff. Keep well back and watch your children.
Surrounding
forests consist of interior Douglas fir, aspen and some stands of
old-growth trees. The park also provides habitat for falcons, white-throated
swifts, bald eagles, coyotes and mule deer.
Paul Lake, stocked
with Blackwater and Pennask strains of Rainbow trout, is easily
accessed with a car-top boat. Paul Lake is perfect for easygoing
paddling . The day-use area has a superb sandy beach and a safe
swimming area that is buoyed off from boat traffic. Biking is permitted
on the roadways, and canoe, kayak and paddle-boat rentals are available.
The park has
90 vehicle/tent campsites (no reservations possible) and a day-use/picnicking
area. Basic facilities include picnic tables, pit toilets, fire
pits, and cold water taps are located throughout the park. A sani-station
is also provided. Some facilities are wheelchair accessible. The
Paul Lake group campsite is located at the opposite end of the lake
from the main campground
Full services
and fees are applicable between May 1 and September 15. Services
may be available, and fees charged, earlier or later than this date,
weather permitting. In the off season, self-contained units are
available in day-use area with no services or fees.

Park is located northeast of Kamloops. Take Yellowhead Highway 5
