Pitt Lake

Canada / British Columbia / Walnut Grove /
Pitt Lake is the largest tidal lake in North America. It is navigable by most boats. Pitt River drains out of it, and the main inflow is the Upper Pitt River. The south end of Pitt Lake is protected by Grant Narrows Regional Park, as are most of the east and west shores, which are protected by Golden Ears Provincial Park, UBC Research Forest, Pinecone-Burke Provincial Park, and Widgeon Creek Regional Park Reserve, respectively. At the north end lies the small community of Alvin, which is mainly a logging and fishing town. Alvin has a population of less than 200. The upper Pitt River is abundant with Steelhead, and during Autumn months, salmon can be found on their annual spawning runs.
