About Boya Lake Provincial Park

Tā Ch'ilā Park, also known as Boya Lake Provincial Park, offers scenic camping and a wide variety of water recreation opportunities thanks to Boya Lake's superb water clarity and aquamarine colour. The park sits in far northern British Columbia along the Stewart-Cassiar Highway (Highway 37), roughly 150 km south of the Yukon border. The lake's crystal clear waters and turquoise hue come from light reflecting off a marl bottom, a mixture of silt and shell fragments. The park lies within the traditional territory of the Kaska Dene First Nation, who live in and around the settlement of Good Hope Lake. Visitors enjoy two short hiking trails, a mountain bike trail, and limitless bays and islands to explore by canoe or motor boat. Moose and beaver live in and around the forest, while mountain goat and Osborne caribou roam above timberline on the Horseranch Range, and a wide variety of waterfowl and songbirds can be spotted throughout the park.

Best time to visit Boya Lake Provincial Park

Mid-June through August offers the warmest weather and the best swimming conditions, since Boya Lake is one of the few lakes in the north that is warm enough for swimming. July is peak season with long daylight hours ideal for paddling and exploring the lake's islands. Late May and early September are quieter shoulder periods, though nights are cold and services along Highway 37 are limited. RVers should avoid the winter months, when the park and surrounding highway services are effectively closed.

How to get to Boya Lake Provincial Park

The park is reached via Highway 37, the Stewart-Cassiar Highway, with the access road near the northern end of the route close to the Yukon border. Dease Lake, the nearest service community, is roughly 150 km south, while Watson Lake, Yukon, is about 90 km north and serves as the nearest airport for fly-and-rent travellers. RV drivers should fuel up whenever possible, as stations along Highway 37 are widely spaced, and watch for narrow shoulders, frost heaves, gravel sections, and wildlife on the road. There are no major tunnels or steep mountain passes on the final approach, but the long distances between services make trip planning essential.
