François Lake Provincial Park

François Lake Provincial Park in British Columbia protects a long stretch of the south shore of François Lake near Fraser Lake, preserving both scenic recreation land and significant ecological habitat. Established in 1999 through the Vanderhoof Land and Resource Management Plan, the 7,214-hectare park includes 25 kilometres of shoreline, conifer forest, riparian areas, and uncommon low-elevation old-growth shaped by a rare lake microclimate. It supports moose, deer, black bear, birds, and sockeye salmon, and with nearby Uncha Mountain Red Hills Provincial Park forms a 47-kilometre ecological corridor. The area also holds deep Indigenous history and enduring ties for neighbouring First Nations.
