| Pure Lake
Provincial Park: A swimming and picnicking fresh water
lake destination park on Graham Island, part of the Queen Charlotte
Islands, in between Masset Village and Port Clements Village.
A short hard-packed gravel trail leads from the
parking lot to a small sandy beach fronting Pure Lake.
The surrounding shoreline is cut short by trees on each end of
the beach area. There is no trail around the lake for exploration.
From the public beach area one can see the lake is surrounded
by many trees, thick under brush and salal.
Pure Lake Park is 130 hectares
in size. A small provincial park in comparison to most government
operated parks. This wilderness park has a day-use/picnic area
with five picnic tables, some grassy areas and two fire rings.
There are pit toilets onsite. Firewood is not provided and do
not use what you find in the bushes... BYOB - Bring Your Own Burn.
Many visitors arrive at Pure Lake
because it is an easy access lake. The parking lot is close to
the beach. A big reason why the lake park is a popular destination
to relax, swim, picnic, play in the sand, kayak or canoe.
