Nicolum River Provincial Park

The 24-hectare park features dense forest cover with western hemlock, red cedar, Douglas fir trees, and a fast-flowing river system in British Columbia.

Alexander Caulfield Anderson from Hudson's Bay Company explored the valley of Nicolum and Sumallo Rivers in 1846 while searching for routes to Cariboo.

The area holds significance as part of the historical Dewdney Trail network, which served as a primary transportation corridor in British Columbia.

While the campground remains closed, visitors can access the park on foot from Highway 3, located 8 kilometers east of Hope near the junction with Highway 5.

The park houses varied thrush, black-throated grey warbler, and Dolly Varden fish species within its Coastal Western Hemlock ecological zone.
