E. C. Manning Provincial Park, Provincial park in Fraser Valley, Canada

E. C. Manning Provincial Park covers 83,671 hectares of the Canadian Cascades, including most of the Hozameen Range. Its terrain runs from wet coastal rain forests to snow-capped peaks, alpine meadows and broad riverbeds along the valley floors. A dense coniferous forest covers the rounded mountain seen from the valley, where a pale gravel riverbed lies scattered with fallen logs.

The reserve was established in 1941 and named after Ernest Callaway Manning, who served as Chief Forester of British Columbia from 1936 to 1941. Its creation reflected Canada's growing commitment to protecting natural landscapes during that era.

Indigenous peoples traveled through the Skyline Trail area to trade and hunt between coastal and interior regions. These ancient routes still shape how visitors move through and experience this landscape today.

Visitors can choose between four drive-in campgrounds or 55 backcountry campsites for overnight stays. Trails range from brief walks lasting under an hour to multi-day expeditions through remote terrain.

The park's Rhododendron Flats, near the western entrance, holds one of the northernmost stands of Rhododendron macrophyllum, one of only three protected plants in British Columbia; it blooms in early to mid-June. The park also supports significant populations of badger, Douglas's squirrel, golden-mantled ground squirrel and wolverine, and is important for grizzly bear reintroduction in the northern Cascades.
