Established in 1962, Ten Mile Lake is a very popular recreational destination for local Quesnel residents and visitors. It offers a large picnic area, three sandy beaches, a boat launch, great fishing and attractive, treed campsites. For hikers, there is a  2-km nature trail to a large beaver pond which goes through a forest and along an abandoned rail road. In the winter the park’s trails are transformed into approximately 10 km of cross country ski trails.
