Established March 16, 1956, Whiskers Point Provincial Park is 116 hectares in size. Open from about May 15 to Sept. 10 each year, the park is accessible year round to those who choose to walk in, should the road be blocked by snow. McLeod Lake itself is 20.54 kilometres (12.76 miles) in length and is known to contain Dolly Varden, Rainbow Trout, White Sucker, Peamouth and Northern Pikeminnow. With a sandy beach toward its southern end, the park has a boat launch at its northern end. The boat launch appears to be free to use and may be used by non-campers, IE, those not staying in the campground. With pavement and concrete for its base, the single lane launch has a floating dock alongside. The dock was not yet put out when we visited the park.
130 km north of Prince George on Highway 97, this is a good wilderness park, well away from the madding crowd. Facilities available at this park include a Boat Launch, Campfires, Drinking Water, Picnic Areas, Pit or Flush Toilets, a Playground, Wheelchair Access and Vehicle Accessible (RV) Camping in 59 campsites, available on a first come, first served basis. There are a total of 69 campsites, 10 not vehicle accessible and 24 reservable.
Activities available include Hiking, Hunting (only in specified areas), Fishing, Wildlife Viewing, Windsurfing and many water related activities.
During the operating season, park gates open at 7 a.m. and close at 11 p.m.
