Joffre lakes provincial park is a class A provincial park located 35 km east of Pemberton in British Columbia, Canada. A class A park is kept to its minimal development in order to keep its natural environment. It was established in 1988 for recreation purposes though for the enjoyment of the public. The three glacier-fed lakes located in the park are labelled as Lower, Middle and Upper Joffre Lakes. It is a popular destination for hikers in the summer and mountain climbers in the winter due to its scenic lakes, glaciers and challenging peaks. The rock flour in the water reflects blue and green waves, and gives the lakes a turquoise colour.

조프리레이크는 팬버튼에서 35키로 동쪽에 떨어져 있는 빙하호수로 아래 호수 중간호수 그리고 위에호수 3개로 되어 있고 밴쿠버인근에서 록키를 즐길 수 있다고 할 수 있다.

Access to the recreation area from the parking lot is up a 4 km trail. Upgrades have been made by the Parks Service in 2017 on this trail, and they hope to continue to upgrade the trail as far as the Middle Joffre Lake. The park has a range of activities to offer such as hiking, mountain climbing, camping and fishing. Summer access in reaching the glaciers requires proper knowledge, equipment and experience. The recommended season to hike here is from June to September. The park is open during the rest of the year, but Winter access is only available on skis or snowshoes.

Fishing is permitted in the park with an appropriate license. For more information regarding the purchase of a license: http://www.fishing.gov.bc.ca/
