Best time to visit Tyhee Lake Provincial Park

Late June through August is the prime window for RV travel, with warm Bulkley Valley days ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and waterskiing on Tyhee Lake. July and August are the busiest months, so reservations are recommended. Shoulder seasons in May, early June, and September bring cooler weather, fewer crowds, and a discounted BC senior camping rate after Labour Day. Winter visits are possible for ice fishing and cross-country skiing, but campground services are limited.

How to get to Tyhee Lake Provincial Park

The park sits off Highway 16, 10 km east of Smithers and a short drive from Telkwa, with Prince George roughly 370 km (about 4.5 hours) to the east and Prince Rupert about 350 km (around 4 hours) to the west. Highway 16 (the Yellowhead) is the primary RV route and is generally well suited to large rigs, though winter snow, icy grades, and wildlife on the road demand caution. The nearest airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Smithers Regional Airport (YYD), about 15 minutes away. Carry chains or winter tires when traveling in shoulder or off-season months.
