Upper Seymour River Provincial Park

Upper Seymour River Provincial Park protects a remote headwaters landscape in British Columbia about forty kilometres north of Seymour Arm, encompassing a large mountain valley at the source of the Seymour River, which drains into Shuswap Lake. Established as a Class A Park on April 18, 2001, it spans 10,672 hectares from low floodplain wetlands to Seymour Pass. Its southern floodplain supports ponds, marshes, wet meadows, fens, and shrub carr, while the wet upper valley sustains interior cedar and hemlock forest, including exceptionally old old-growth cedars. The park also provides habitat for mule deer, moose, mountain caribou, grizzlies, rainbow trout, and summer swans.
