Nation Lakes offers a 120 kilometre route to canoeists through four spectacular lakes of Tsayta, Indata, Tchentlo and Chuchi. The Nation Lakes chain connects these lakes which drain into the Arctic watershed. The park encompasses several small parcels of land on Tchentlo and Chuchi lakes.
Depending on how quickly you travel, canoeing the lake chain in its entirety takes between five and ten days. At various locations along the lake chain you will find both rustic provincial park campsites and forest service recreation campsites for canoeists to rest and enjoy the amazing sunsets.
There are four road locations that provide canoe access to the Nation Lakes chain:

The park is located approximately 260 km northwest of Prince George. Connected by the Nation River, the chain of lakes provides a peaceful and remote wilderness canoe route for paddlers. For centuries the Carrier people have lived here and travelled this route and continue to do so.
