Golden Ears Provincial Park

Golden Ears Provincial Park in British Columbia spans 555.9 square kilometres around Alouette Lake and the twin peaks of Golden Ears, making it one of the province’s largest and busiest parks. Its present form dates to 1967, after earlier inclusion in Garibaldi Provincial Park, as growing access and camping increased demand for focused management. Long before park creation, Coast Salish peoples used this landscape for hunting, fishing, gathering, and travel, with archaeological evidence showing fishing over several thousand years. The area also bears traces of logging, hydroelectric, and mining activity. Today it balances heavy recreation, Indigenous connections, and conservation, including protection of more than 85 red-listed species.
