Where can I get water in the backcountry?

Most established BC Parks backcountry campgrounds have a reliable water source (lake or creek). Always treat water from natural sources with a filter, purifier, or chemical treatment. Streams may run dry by late summer on ridges and south-facing slopes — check recent trip reports before relying on a specific water source.
