Saturday, July 25th, 2009 by GetawayBC.com
Babine Lake Resort is a great place to stay and play. Situated on Babine Lake, the largest natural fresh water lake in British Columbia stretching 177 km from end to end, Babine Lake Resort offers great fishing and hunting, hiking trails and wonderful scenery for budding photographers.
Rock hounds take note as deposits of jade can also be scouted in the area around Babine Lake Resort.
The fishing opportunities on Babine Lake are second to none and is well known for producing trophy Char, rainbow trout and salmon.
A point of interest to avid anglers is that Babine Lake is home to a special strain of rainbow trout that grow much larger than the common rainbow trout species. Anglers should jump at the chance of catching ‘the big one.’
Other fish that inhabit Babine Lake are kokanee, burbot and whitefish, so with all the great fishing opportunities why not come, stay and drop in a line
or two.
After a great days fishing Babine Lake Resort offers a number of ways to wind down.
Rustic cabins over looking the lake are available, equipped with kitchens and bedding, some of which have full bathroom facilities. There are R.V. spaces with power and water or if you prefer to fully immerse yourself in the outdoors bring your own tent.
There are campsites available with or without hookups and included with your stay is firewood, showers, sani dumping and for the big fish that didn’t get away Babine Lake resort provides fish smoking and freezers.
For those anglers that prefer to get out in the middle of the action there are boats available for hire from the resort, with 10-20 hp outboards. Also included with your rental is five gallons of gas. If you have your own boat there are docking facilities available with a boat ramp for launching off for a great day out on the lake.
Babine Lake Resort is also a great place to get away from all the hustle and bustle, sit around a camp fire and enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
Babine Lake Resort is the perfect venue for your wedding, anniversary, family reunion, birthday or business event. Make your special event an event to remember by celebrating it at Babine Lake Resort.
To get there turn right off Hwy. 16 on to Babine Lake Rd and turn left onto Augier Main, turn right on to Babine Lake Rd again and follow the road down to the resort.
