Wapiti Lake Provincial Park

Wapiti Lake Provincial Park is a 16,837-hectare protected area in British Columbia’s Canadian Rockies, about 60 kilometres south of Tumbler Ridge. It safeguards the headwaters of the Wapiti River, from Wapiti Pass to Wapiti Lake, and was established on June 26, 2000. The area also has a much deeper human history, having been traditionally used by First Nations people. Its significance includes important fossil beds, notably ichthyosaur fossils, as well as habitat for grizzly bears, mountain goats, and bull trout. Although protected, the park also remains a working backcountry landscape where hunting and fishing are permitted.
