Description:
Bill Nye Lake:
Bill Nye Lake is located in the Morice/Skeena watershed and is small in size and relatively easy to access. Access is at the lake’s far southeast point. Access is through a narrow road off Bill Nye Road. You can drive in for approx. 20-30m and park. A short portage from there gets you to the lake. Bill Nye Lake has a many small bays and a long rocky peninsula.
The Lake is not named after “The Science Guy”, it was named after the First Nations Chief Midik Bill Nye who lived and trapped in the area in the early 1900’s.
Bittern Lake:
Bittern Lake is located in the Nadina/Fraser watershed and is small in size. The lake is easy to access along its western shore. There is a large trail that leads from the road down to the lake. Bittern has a few small bays and one island.
There are no directional or trail head signs for these sites, use your map and GPS.
