Irrigation (Dunalter) Lake Park: A popular lake park destination providing a full day of water activities when visiting the community of Houston, British Columbia, Canada. The lake park is hidden in a forest setting just west of Houston accessed best from Highway 16.

Irrigation Lake Park is a full serviced recreation destination complete with picnic tables (some in the shade, some not), fire pits, sitting benches, change rooms and outhouses. The lake enjoys a small sandy beach and a larger grassy area. Many arrive to the lake to swim and picnic.

From the small parking lot is a trailhead to a nature trail exploring around the lake. The trail is mainly single track and explores the forest shoreline of the lake. Because the hiking path is following the edge of the lake the trail is moist and sometimes muddy with the occasional fallen tree and the tree root to navigate.

Canoers and non motorized boats are permitted on the lake only. All boats and canoes are beach launched and during the day some are tied up to a small dock. Many boaters arrive at the lake to fish for some Rainbow Trout. The lake is a popular fishing destination so the numbers of fish may be low at times.

Contact information for the local Houston, BC accommodations, tours, guides, golf courses, attractions, eco activities, artists, transportation companies, realtors, etc. are posted under the links listed to your right. =)

How to get to Irrigation Lake Park: The lake park is located 14 km west of the community of Houston, BC on Highway 16. The entrance is tricky to spot as the park sign is hidden in the trees. Look for a small opening in the trees at the top of a big hill after the passing lane highway reverts back to a single lane highway.
