Bedard Aspen Provincial Park, provincial park in British Columbia
Bedard Aspen Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia covering about 173 hectares, located southwest of Cache Creek and Ashcroft. The landscape features aspen and willow trees surrounding Bedard Lake, with rolling terrain that hosts moose, birds like loons and ruffed grouse, and other wildlife in a largely undeveloped natural setting.
The park was established in 1996 to protect the natural environment and the variety of plants and animals living there. The region has a long history of use by Indigenous peoples whose connections to the land and its resources remain a key part of the area's identity today.
The area is accessed via logging roads from Cache Creek and requires a detailed map of backroads for navigation. Visitors should bring water and supplies since the park offers no facilities, and pets must be kept on a leash.
The park centers on Bedard Lake, a remote mountain body of water containing rainbow trout and insects that requires treatment before drinking. This quiet lake serves as habitat for loons and waterfowl and remains a calm focal point within this largely undeveloped wilderness.
