Elk Lakes Provincial Park

Elk Lakes Provincial Park is a protected mountain park in southeastern British Columbia near the Alberta border, forming part of a continuous high-country landscape with neighboring parks along the Continental Ranges. Its subalpine terrain, shaped by ice and elevation, includes rugged peaks, remnant glaciers, and a chain of lakes, with much of the park above the treeline. Lower slopes support alpine fir, Engelmann spruce, lodgepole pine, shrubs, and alpine plants, while its varied forest, wetland, and open alpine habitats sustain wildlife such as beaver, moose, deer, snowshoe hare, red squirrel, and many birds. The park is also a relatively accessible backcountry destination with campgrounds and hiking routes.
