 Fishing:
Babine Lake is British Columbia's largest natural body of water. Covering 250 square miles, the lake holds trophy rainbow (to 10 lbs.) and can be taken by fly, spin, casting or trolling. Lake trout (char) are found deep in the lake and the appropriate gear is necessary to get down to them. Usually lead core line is sufficient but down riggers are often used. Kokanee, whitefish and burbot are also plentiful.
Special Events:
Each year Babine Lake Resort recognizes the "catch of the year" by hosting an Awards Night. There is a $50 prize for largest trout and largest char. (adult & junior) The long weekend in August marks our Annual Fishing Derby. Join us every Wednesday evening for a pot luck Supper. Everyone staying at the resort is welcome to attend these events which have proven to be a time of fun and excitement for the whole family.
Accomodation:
We have beautiful rustic cabins, equipped with kitchens and including bedding. Some have full bathrooms, some don't, but all overlook the lake. R.V. spaces come equipped with power and water. An onsite sani-dump is centrally located. Tenters are welcome in an area reserved especially for them.
Rentals:
Rental boats are available with outboards from 10 to 20 hp. For those who bring their own, we have docking facilities and a concrete launching ramp to get it afloat. Hot showers and flush toilets are available to anyone staying at the resort. A houseboat is also available for rent. This spacious unit comes fully equipped to help make your fishing or hunting expedition as comfortable as possible.
