Recreation Areas

Throughout our province, BC Hydro has developed and maintains a wide range of recreational areas as one part of our efforts to balance your energy needs with the preservation of the natural environment.

For information on recreation sites – such as Hayward Lake – along with visitor centres, check the chart below and click on individual rec site links to see what each site offers. Each recreation site has a map and site-specific information that will help make your visit easier and safer.

Remember that these areas are located at or near working dams and power stations that contain both natural and man-made hazards. Please play safe and read all posted signs and warnings.
