Roosting at Red Bluff
by Debi Osborne
If you're looking for a great place to spend a couple of days this summer, head north off of Highway 16 at Topley and drive 45 kilometers to the Red Bluff Provincial park.

Do you have a boat? Use the concrete boat launch, then tie up your fishing vessel to the dock before unloading your camper or putting up your tent at one of the twenty campsites.
Secluded campsites await you
After cooking a nice meal on the open pit fireplace, you can waddle down the wooded trail to the secluded bay and fine-pebble beach. Your boat will still be happily tied to the dock so you can take time to play a game of horseshoes or to swap camping stories with some of the other visitors.

After that you have two options. Either continue down the beach until you reach the start of the adventurous Red Bluff Walking Trails or climb into your boat and try to catch a ten-pound trout in Babine Lake : the longest natural lake in BC. Hopefully, you will get a chance to do both.

To get the full effect of why the area is called Red Bluff, approach the Provincial park by boat.
