Mabel Lake Provincial Park

Canada / British Columbia / Lumby /
Mabel Lake Provincial Park was established in 1972. The lake was named after Mabel Charles, daughter of a Hudson's Bay Company manager during the late nineteenth century.
The area's climate and landscapes mark the dramatic transition from the Okanagan Basin to the Quesnel/Shuswap Highlands. To the west, the slopes of the Thompson Plateau are covered in Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, while on the east side of Mabel Lake the wetter and steeper slopes of the Shuswap Highlands grade into the Monashee Mountains. For visitors accustomed to the dry Okanagan forests, the cedar and hemlock of Mabel Lake clearly indicate the greater rainfall in this valley.
