About This Lake

Robinson Lake is a scenic coastal lake near Kitimat, British Columbia, reached by a moderate hiking trail through lush old-growth forest. The route passes several small lakes, marshes, and streams before arriving at Robinson Lake, where hikers can enjoy a peaceful forest setting and a small picnic area along the lakeshore. The trail offers a quiet opportunity to experience the natural landscape surrounding Kitimat and is especially appealing for a relaxing day hike. 

Fishing Regulations

A valid BC freshwater fishing licence is required. Check current regulations at the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis before your visit.

Getting There

Directions

From Highway 37, follow Kitamaat Village Road for approximately 2.3 km. After crossing Cordella Creek Bridge, turn left into the gravel pit. Continue uphill/right along the access road for approximately 0.7 km to the Robinson Lake trailhead. Current Kitimat trail information also describes access via the South Hirsch/Wathl Main forestry roads, so road conditions and access should be checked before visiting.

Parking

Parking is available along the road near the Robinson Lake trailhead. The current Kitimat guide identifies parking just past the trailhead. Space may be limited, so park safely without blocking the forestry road or access for industrial vehicles.

Safety & Preparation

  • The trail can become extremely wet and muddy, particularly during the final section approaching Robinson Lake.
  • Forestry roads in the area have industrial and logging traffic; drive cautiously and watch for other vehicles.
  • Be prepared for changing weather, wet terrain, and uneven trail conditions.
  • Bears and other wildlife may be present. Keep food properly stored and never approach or feed wildlife.
  • Bring suitable hiking footwear, water, navigation equipment, and emergency supplies.
