In the Skeena area is Lakelse Lake Provincial Park, nestled among the mountains of the Kitimat Range and surrounded by salmon-bearing rivers and streams, which make up the Skeena Watershed. Old-growth cedar, hemlock, and Sitka spruce forests abound in the park.
Furlong Bay has a roped-off swimming area in the warmer months, though no life-guards are available, and the lake is popular for skiing, sailing, and wind-surfing.
Anglers will find trout, Dolly Varden, class salmon (all five species of Pacific salmon spawn in the rivers), and steelhead runs.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
