High Lakes Basin Provincial Park

Located on the Nehalliston Plateau, High Lakes Basin Provincial Park contains multiple lakes surrounded by Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir forests at high elevation.

The park, established in 1996 following recommendations from the Kamloops Land and Resource Management Plan, preserves a native travel route between Lac des Roches and North Thompson valley.

The natural area maintains a connection to Indigenous Peoples through BC Parks' commitment to represent their diverse teachings about the land and its resources.

Visitors need to bring drinking water and camping equipment as the park lacks amenities, with access limited to foot or horseback through unmarked trails from forestry roads.

The park's lakes maintain populations of wild rainbow trout, offering fishing opportunities in an environment without modern infrastructure or ranger patrols.
