Bear Glacier Provincial Park

Nature
Bear Glacier Provincial Park is a small protected area in northwestern British Columbia, covering 542 hectares around Bear Glacier. Established on May 11, 2000, through the Nisga'a Treaty, it is notable for protecting a striking glacial landscape whose most visible feature is the glacier's toe. Seen easily from Highway 37A between Meziadin Junction and Stewart, it stands out as an unusually accessible roadside glacier in a region of steep mountains and ice. The glacier also gained wider recognition through its appearance in the closing scene of the film Insomnia, linking the park's importance to both its treaty origins and its unusual visibility.
