Kinney Lake is a lake located in Mount Robson Provincial Park of British Columbia, Canada.[1] The lake can be reached by following the Berg Lake Trail for 4.2 kilometres. The lake is an expansion of the Robson River (a tributary of the upper Fraser River) & is located about halfway between the river's source & its mouth. It was named by Arthur Philemon Coleman, Canadian geologist, who explored the region with his friend, George Kinney who spotted the lake first.[2]
