While campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite, we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood can be purchased in the park or you may bring your own wood.Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary from park to park. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don't gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.

Trails connect the campground and the beach area. Those
who enjoy walking can explore the park along the shoreline
of Tyhee Lake and through the aspen forest as they follow
the 2.5 km Aldermere Trail. An after dinner or early
morning stroll to the marsh viewing platform may also
be of interest. For your own safety and the preservation
of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated
trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and
soil structure.

adventure playground for children is located in the

 |
There
are no lifeguards on duty at provincial parks. Swim
within the designated area to avoid conflicts with power

of horseshoes.

Canoeing
is a popular activity on Tyhee Lake (as well as kayaking
for beginners).
|
 |
A
concrete boat launch and loading dock complete with
parking are conveniently situated to the nearby day-use
area. For boaters and water skiers, a separate beach
has been developed adjacent to the swimming area.
|
|
|
Fishers
of all ages can try their hand for native cutthroat
or stocked rainbow trout. Minnows like the peamouth
chub, red shiner, and pygmy whitefish can challenge
the younger fisher. Anyone fishing or angling in British
Columbia must have an appropriate
licence.

Pets/domestic
animals must be on a leash at all times and are not
allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible
for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement.
Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or
other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential
for problems with bears.
|
 |
From
the viewing platform, located by the boat launch, one can see a marsh,
which harbours an army of life including mammals and birds, small reptiles,

or the Red-winged Black Bird.
