Community » New Docks Make Fishing Access Easier

To ensure that everyone – from avid anglers to beginners – has access to freshwater fisheries, we’ve been investing in trails, boat launches, and fishing docks by leveraging funding and support from provincial and regional governments, and from local fishing clubs.

In 2023 and 2024, fishing docks installed at Badger, Herman, Dragon, Onion, Fountain, Sheridan, Stewart, and Wood were supported in part by a grant received by the Province of BC through the Destination Development Fund.


New docks have been placed over fish-attracting shoals or drop-off areas at lakes near urban centres and in regional and provincial parks throughout the province. To see if one of these new docks, or an existing dock, is located at a stocked lake near you, visit our Map and select the Fishing Dock filter. In addition to the 100+ docks shown on the map, we’ve also helped install docks on lakes we don’t stock such as Little Heffley, Spectrum, Janice, Charlie, Nicola, Proctor, Okanagan, and Walloper.
