Stuart River Provincial Park

Stuart River Provincial Park in central British Columbia extends along the Stuart River in two separate sections near Vanderhoof, Stuart Lake, and Fort St. James. Its upper section surrounds the confluence of the Stuart and Nechako Rivers, while the lower eastern section lies within the Greater Prince George area. Beyond protecting a substantial river corridor, the park holds deep historical importance in its upper section at Chinlac, a Dakelh village. Around 1745, Chinlac was the site of a massacre and enslavement carried out by the Tsilhqot'in of Anahim Lake, linking the park to a traumatic chapter in Dakelh history.
