Wigeon Lake

Widgeon Lake sits within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park in British Columbia, offering a remote backcountry camping experience at the end of a roughly 25-kilometre trail system.

The glacial lake is ringed by granite bluffs and is popular for hiking, trail running, fishing, and canoeing. Reaching the lake requires a multi-day effort. The typical approach begins with a paddle of about 4.

5 kilometres from Grant Narrows across Widgeon Creek marsh to Widgeon Creek Campground, followed by a hike of approximately five hours round trip past Widgeon Falls and up to the lake.

A bluff overlooking the lake provides a flat spot to pitch a tent, though campers should note water sources in that area may be limited.
