Cottonwood River Provincial Park

Cottonwood River Provincial Park is a protected area covering 66 hectares in British Columbia, situated along the river landscape where the Cottonwood and Fraser Rivers meet. The terrain displays natural forest and riparian settings with minimal human development.

The park was officially established on June 29, 2000, as a protected area in the North Cariboo region. This designation recognized the ecological importance of the river landscapes in this part of British Columbia.

Indigenous peoples maintain strong connections to these lands, collaborating with BC Parks to document their historical presence in the Cariboo Regional District.

The park offers no campgrounds or developed recreational facilities, so visitors should come prepared for self-sufficient outdoor activities. Bring your own supplies and equipment for hiking or nature observation.

Located at coordinates 53°10′17″N 122°29′19″W, the park follows IUCN category II guidelines, focusing on natural preservation rather than recreational development.
