Babine Mountains Provincial Park

Babine Mountains Provincial Park protects about 31,465 hectares of mountainous landscape in British Columbia, east of the Bulkley River between Smithers and Babine Lake. Preserving a large section of the Babine Mountains, it was created in 1984 as the Babine Mountains Recreation Area and in 1999 was elevated to provincial park status under its present name, giving the region stronger protection. The park is notable for both its mountain environment and its wildlife, including black bears, moose, marmots, ground squirrels, and many birds, with occasional sightings of grizzly bears, lynx, and wolverines. It remains an important protected area in the Bulkley-Nechako region.
