Marble Canyon Provincial Park

Marble Canyon Provincial Park in British Columbia was established in 1956 to protect Marble Canyon, a limestone gorge at the south end of the Marble Range. Expanded in 2001 to include all of Pavilion Lake and again in 2010, the park grew in part because of Pavilion Lake’s scientific value, especially its microbialites, which have attracted astrobiology research. The area also holds cultural significance for the Tskway'laxw people, with hidden pictograph sites in side canyons and Chimney Rock, or K'lpalekw, as an important spiritual place. Today the park is valued for scenery, climbing, fishing, and camping.
