The Buttle Lake is a 28 km² large lake on Vancouver Iceland in the province of British Columbia in Canada .

It is located in Strathcona Provincial Park at 221  m above sea level and this is where the Campbell River has its origin. At the northern outflow, at the transition to Upper Campbell Lake , the lake is touched by Highway 28 , between the towns of Campbell River and Gold River . The lake, which is up to 120 m deep, was named in honor of Commander John Buttle , who explored the area in 1860.

Within the Strathcona Provincial Park there are two campsites right on the lake. At the northern end of the lake is the Buttle Lake campsite . This campsite also has a small island with several campsites. At the southern end of the lake is Ralph River . The lake is surrounded on the east and south by a road that originally served to supply a nearby mine.

The Myra Falls are also located at the southern end of the lake . This waterfall falls over 61 meters in several cascades. The last part, the Lower Myra Falls , falls directly into the lake.
