Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park

Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park is a protected provincial park in British Columbia along the Squamish River beside Brackendale, a neighbourhood of Squamish. Established in 1999 after the province’s 1992 Protected Areas Strategy identified this stretch of river for protection, it is not open to visitors. The park is significant chiefly as a critical wintering site for bald eagles, which gather to feed on salmon in the Squamish and Cheakamus rivers. In 1994, 3,769 bald eagles were counted here, setting a world record. The park also supports about 148 bird species and provides habitat for numerous large and small mammals, with fewer reptiles and amphibians.
