About Paul Lake
Located near Topley Landing (Babine Lake) and tucked away in the forest on a small, secluded lake is a six unit campsite and picnic area with a dock. This site can be popular for hunters in the fall and can be a nice spot to get away from higher traffic areas. There are rainbow and cutthroat trout in the lake. This site is user maintained, please pack out what you pack in!
Please be sure to purchase a fishing licence and consult the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis for limits, special regulations and closures: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/sports-recreation-arts-and-culture/outdoor-recreation/fishing-and-hunting/freshwater-fishing/region_6_skeena.pdf
