Drizzle Lake Ecological Reserve is a BC Parks ecological reserve 10 kilometres south by southeast of Massett on Graham Island. BC Parks says it was established to maintain undisturbed lake and bog ecosystems on the Argonaut Plain and Queen Charlotte Islands.
The reserve supports research on unique stickleback populations and their predators.
Drizzle Lake is a research and education reserve rather than a developed recreation destination. BC Parks explains that ecological reserves protect special natural ecosystems and support research and education. They are not intended for outdoor recreation, but this reserve is open to the public for non-destructive activities such as hiking, nature observation, and photography.
The reserve's core interest is undisturbed lake and bog ecosystems, stickleback research, predator relationships, and the Queen Charlotte Lowland setting. It is in the Coastal Western Hemlock biogeoclimatic zone, and BC Parks provides both a map and detailed reserve description for learning and research.
Consumptive activities such as hunting, fishing, camping, and foraging are prohibited. Motorized vehicles are not allowed, and research or educational work requires a permit.
Plan around non-destructive walking, lake and bog observation, stickleback research context, photography, map review, Queen Charlotte Lowland bog ecology research context, natural-history learning, and education-focused visits that avoid disturbing water, plants, soils, or wildlife.
Use maps for general information only, not legal boundaries or navigation. Do not hunt, fish, camp, forage, or use motorized vehicles, and apply for permits before research or organized education activities.
