In the Skeena area is Lakelse Lake Provincial Park, nestled among the mountains of the Kitimat Range and surrounded by salmon-bearing rivers and streams, which make up the Skeena Watershed. Old-growth cedar, hemlock, and Sitka spruce forests abound in the park.

Furlong Bay has a roped-off swimming area in the warmer months, though no life-guards are available, and the lake is popular for skiing, sailing, and wind-surfing.

Anglers will find trout, Dolly Varden, class salmon (all five species of Pacific salmon spawn in the rivers), and steelhead runs.
