Ethel Wilson Memorial Provincial Park is a remote wilderness lake park located 24 kilometres north of Burns Lake, British Columbia, Canada. The park is dedicated to Ethel F. Wilson - an early settler in the region - who spent her time in the community working with young people until her death in 1952.

The forested park rests on the shores of Pinkut Lake. A small lake deep in the backcountry with forest, mountains and wildlife providing the scenery and companionship for many who come to explore the lake while canoeing and boating. The small-boat lake is stocked with Rainbow Trout attracting outdoor enthusiasts to the lake to fish.

Ethel Wilson Park is a small park covering only 29 hectares. When compared to some of the giant lake parks in the region it is small in comparison. But... size does not matter in this case as the park is a day use area destination only, so room for camping is not provided. What is provided is a beautiful lake and lakeside picnic sites with fire pits and picnic tables. There is an outhouse on location and a roof top boat ramp.

To get to the park requires some driving on active gravel roads through some beautiful backcountry forest country. The roads are heavily used by recreation enthusiasts, as well as BIG logging trucks. Always wear a seatbelt, headlights on and your head up to avoid wildlife crossing the road and always prepare to pull over to oncoming logging trucks.Some of the wildlife in the area includes Black Bears, Moose and deer.

The lake park is a popular destination located on the same gravel roads used to reach BC's largest fresh water lake - Babine Lake. The road eventually leads to the shores of Babine Lake at Pendleton Bay.

Nearby, at the Augier Main Junction at the 40 KM marker sign is the northeast trailhead to the Nellian Lake Trail. A historic hike first used by the First Nation people as a trading route. Park where North Road meets Augier Main Road. Walk up North Road for 1.5 kilometres to the trailhead.
