Plan Red Bluff Park near Granisle on Babine Lake with camping, swimming, paddling, rainbow trout fishing, Bluff Trail, wildlife platforms, and e-bike rules.
Red Bluff Park is on Babine Lake near the community of Granisle. BC Parks says the park is named for iron-stained cliffs that drop steeply into the lake.
Access is from the Village of Topley on Highway 16 by travelling north for 45 kilometres on Highway 118.
Why Visit Red Bluff Park
Red Bluff is a lake campground and day-use destination for swimming, sunbathing, paddling, fishing, short walks, and wildlife viewing. Babine Lake is the longest natural freshwater lake in British Columbia, and boaters use the park as a base for exploring its extensive shoreline.
The easy three-kilometre Bluff Trail is a self-guided interpretive loop with lake views, marsh viewing platforms, and opportunities to see waterfowl and songbirds. BC Parks also points visitors toward nearby salmon enhancement projects at Fulton River and Pinkut Creek sites.
The park has frontcountry camping reservation information and is operated by Babine Builders, according to BC Parks.
Things To Do
Camp by reservation, walk the Bluff Trail, swim without lifeguards, canoe or kayak on Babine Lake, fish for cutthroat, rainbow trout, and char with the proper licence, watch black bears, moose, Sora rails, waterfowl, and songbirds, and cycle only on roadways.
Planning Notes
The Bluff Trail can flood at different times of year because of Babine Lake water fluctuations. Keep to signed trails and obey posted closures. Pets must be leashed and kept out of beach areas and park buildings. E-bikes are not allowed on trails and are restricted to park roads and motorized-use areas.
