Duck Lake is home to many bird species native to British Columbia. The Duck Lake Protected Area covers just over 760 hectares, while the lake itself has a perimeter of approximately 4 km.
If standing still and watching the local wildlife is not your thing then there are over 9 km of excellent hiking and mountain biking trails to keep the legs pumping, yet still, providing some scenic moments with the local wildlife. The trails are well marked with the trailheads located on Duck Lake Road. The area also provides a great environment for swimming and fishing. get a fishing liscense if fishing please.
Along the Duck Lake gravel logging road are many trails and other adventures for both the hiker and mountain biker like the Blackwater Trail and Holly Branch Trail. All within a close driving distance. Look for big cement block monument trailhead markers.
