Lava Forks Provincial Park

Lava Forks Provincial Park in northern British Columbia preserves the site of Canada’s most recent volcanic eruption, which occurred around 1904 at Lava Fork on The Volcano within the traditional territory of the Tahltan Nation. The remote park is notable for dramatic landforms created by that eruption, including lava flows, lava-dammed lakes, ash dunes, and potholes filled with clear pools. About 120 kilometres southwest of Telegraph Creek, it extends south to the Canada–United States border beside Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. With no road or water access, it is usually reached by helicopter or by a demanding multi-day hike.
