Kitsumkalum Park is about 25 kilometres north of Terrace, reached from Highway 113 toward Rosswood and a gravel road just past Goat Creek. BC Parks says only a boundary sign marks the entrance, with a short drive down to the lake and campground.
The park is a former Forest Service recreation site with a user-maintained campground. The official page also says pets must be leashed and kept nearby at the campground so they do not disturb others.
Kitsumkalum Park is a small, low-service lakeside camping and paddling spot. BC Parks says there is room for up to seven small camping parties, and a pit toilet is the only facility provided.
The lake is easy to reach from the campground. A sandy shoreline west of the campground is good for swimming, though there is no designated swimming area and no lifeguards. Kitsumkalum Lake also offers canoeing, kayaking, scenic shoreline paddling, and wildlife viewing.
Fishing opportunities include seasonal coho salmon, Dolly Varden char, and cutthroat trout. Windsurfing is possible from the beach, though BC Parks notes the lake can be cold. Wildlife commonly seen around the park includes black bears, grizzly bears, moose, and eagles.
Plan around small-party camping, sandy-shore swimming, canoeing, kayaking, hand-launching small boats, seasonal fishing, windsurfing, wildlife watching from the lake, and quiet lakeside photography.
Bring drinking water because potable water is not available. There are no developed trails. Hand-launch small boats only; driving or backing trailers onto the beach is not recommended.
