Pentz Lake (Hazelton)

Site Description:
CAUTION: The water level of Pentz Lake dropped significantly in 2022 and has not returned to normal levels, therefore, launching boats may be difficult as the boat launch is quite flat with deep mud. Launching trailered boats is not recommended due to risk of getting stuck in the mud.
This small 2 unit site is very popular for day-use/picnicking, swimming and canoeing. This site features a new land-based dock and a floating swimming dock in the lake. It is possible to hand launch small boats at the southern end of the rec site.

Driving Directions:Head north of Hazelton and Kispiox Village on Kispiox Trail, turn left at ~26km on Kispiox Trail to cross the Kispiox River, proceed about 6km up Poplar Park Road to junction of Helen Lake FSR, stay right and proceed ~5km to Pentz Lake.
