Voted best lake in BC? Yes. I have been to nicer lakes that don't have that slimy bottom as the main beach here does. Such as Christina Lake or Kootenay Lake or Rollie Lake or Spider Lake. They have an old 1950's water bomber plane just floating in the middle of the lake which is an unusual sight. So that was a sort of attraction. The water is very clean and inviting on a hot day

Our stay here was absolutely fabulous and went beyond my expectations. We camped in the upper loop and the sites were large and private The $25.00 nightly fee includes showers located at the day use area in the lower loop.

An awesome view is presented when you see the lake. It's a large lake and there's many places along to get good views. But from this park, you can see the MARS bomber if you can find the right vantage point. The picnic area is right on the lake with plenty tables available. Multiple facilities as well all within a short distance from the tables.

The park is clean, well-maintained, and ideal for picnics, with tables available. The warm, clean water is great for swimming or boating. To see the petroglyphs, walk about 400 meters left from the parking lot along the path to the dock.

Beautiful warm water at Sproat Lake. Lots of parking spaces. There is a shower and clean washrooms.

My touristy group of eight (8) adults came to Sproat Lake Park to see the petroglyphs. Carved into a vertical rock face by First Nation peoples long ago, the petroglyphs are just above the water line and visible from a nearby floating deck. It's an easy, short hike on safe, mostly level paths through some woods that run parallel above a shoreline, which borders a HUGE lake. And then a secure ramp lets you walk down to a floating, tethered platform deck, from where you can see and inspect the petroglyphs from a respectful distance. The various carvings look like stylized fish, waves, and other creatures you may have better luck identifying. Then turn around and look at the expansive lake, the occasional boater, and the gorgeous mountains in the distance. What a view - and definitely worth a visit!

Clean lake water and a very good lake for children to play. The parking lot is also wide. There are rock wool sculptures, so I hope you find them as well. The best place for swimming and paddling. It's about 2 hours and 40 minutes from Victoria, so it's a pity that I can't go often.

Sproat Lake Provincial Park is a not so hidden gem in the Alberni Valley. This park has it all (except for H2O and power hook ups)! The lake is the warmest on the island making for delightful swimming, boating, SUPing and fishing. The shoreline is sandy and there is a soft sand beach beside the boat launch. The day use and boat launch areas all have well appointed picnic tables and grassy fields for lounging. Campers can enjoy staying in the Tenting or the Lower campground next to the lake or the Upper campground in the woods. There are pit toilets, bear proof garbages and taps located throughout the park for your convenience.
