Skagit Valley Provincial Park

The park extends across 27,964 hectares of wilderness, containing the Skagit River, Ross Lake reservoir, and eight named mountains within the Cascade Range.

The area shows evidence of human presence dating back ten thousand years, when continental glaciers retreated from this region at the end of the last ice age.

The park territory connects with multiple protected areas, including E.C. Manning Provincial Park in Canada and North Cascades National Park in the United States.

The park offers 50 kilometers of hiking trails, four backcountry campsites with tent pads, picnic tables, pit toilets, and bear caches for food storage.

Ross Lake undergoes substantial water level changes throughout the year, reaching full capacity only during July and August, while remaining completely dry on the Canadian side otherwise.
