Momich Lakes Park | British Columbia

Momich Lakes Park is east of the northern end of Adams Lake, about 110 kilometres northeast of Kamloops. BC Parks says the park is popular for fishing, swimming, and boating, with access by three gravel logging-road routes.

The park protects frontage on Adams Lake, three small lakes, wetlands, the Momich River, and its flood plain, so visits can shift between open lake, creek, and marshy habitat.

Why Visit Momich Lakes Park

Momich Lakes is a backroad lake-and-wetland destination. BC Parks notes sandy and pebble beaches at the east end of Momich Lake and where the Momich River enters Adams Lake. Canoeing and kayaking are popular, especially the meandering route through the large wetland connecting Momich and Little Momich lakes.

The park has important conservation values, including the most northerly occurrence of western larch in British Columbia, winter ranges for moose and mule deer, and sockeye salmon plus native trout and other fish in the Momich River. Wildlife viewing may include beaver, muskrat, osprey, moose, mule deer, and black bear.

Things To Do

Swim from natural beaches, paddle the wetland route, fish for kokanee, rainbow trout, and lake trout, watch wildlife, cycle on roads, waterski or windsurf on Adams Lake, ride horseback where appropriate, scuba dive in Adams Lake, hunt during open seasons, and ice fish in winter.

Planning Notes

Bring drinking water. Adams Lake can have strong wind gusts, high water limits pullouts in May and June, the nearest public phone is far away, and boats should be cleaned to prevent Eurasian watermilfoil spread.
