Maxhamish Lake Provincial Park and Protected Area

Tłu Tue, or Maxhamish Lake, has long been part of the homeland and seasonal travel routes of Dene people from Fort Nelson First Nation and Acho Dene Koe, who used the lake and its shores for living, travel, hunting, trapping, fishing, gathering medicinal plants, and burial places. Now protected within a 27,516-hectare provincial park in northeastern British Columbia, the area remains culturally important, with reserve parcels protecting grave sites and families still maintaining cabins and visiting year-round. It is also valued for fish and wildlife habitat, backcountry recreation, and conservation amid growing industrial pressure from nearby oil and gas activity.
