Omineca Provincial Park and Protected Area

The park protects 133,369 hectares of the Omineca River Valley, featuring dense forests, wetlands, alpine lakes, and mountain ranges in the northern interior.

Gold discoveries in Vital Creek during 1869 brought miners to the region, leading to the establishment of Germansen Landing settlement in 1870.

The Takla Lake First Nation maintains strong connections to this territory, with an ancient burial ground located along the eastern bank of the Omineca River.

The park offers six basic camping areas available from May to October, with access through Finlay Forest Service Road requiring four-wheel drive vehicles.

The isolation of the Omineca Mountains created specialized habitats for northern woodland caribou, mountain goats, wolverines, and diverse waterfowl populations.
