Defrauder Falls Marine Day Use Area

Defrauder Falls Marine Day Use Area sits on the west shore of Pitt Lake within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, accessible only by boat. It is a popular stop for canoeists and kayakers paddling the lake, and the site has no facilities.

The area also serves as a marine campsite along the full loop route around Pitt Lake. The namesake falls on Defrauder Creek are notably loud and can be heard clearly from the beach.

A large sandy beach fronts the site, and visitors can walk up the creek to view the lower falls. The surrounding waters of Pitt Lake are well known for cutthroat trout fishing, and several salmon species pass through in autumn.
