Skihist Provincial Park

Skihist Provincial Park spans 386 hectares of protected land along the Thompson River, featuring ponderosa pine forests and grassland ecosystems.

The establishment of this provincial park in 1956 marked the beginning of organized nature conservation efforts in the Thompson-Nicola region of British Columbia.

Indigenous peoples have maintained strong connections to this land through generations, with evidence of their presence found throughout the park's territories.

The park provides 58 campsites during summer months, with facilities including water supplies and flush toilets available from May through September.

Located near the confluence of the Thompson and Fraser Rivers, the park offers views of Skihist Mountain across the water despite being on opposite sides.
