High Lakes Basin Provincial Park, Provincial park in Thompson-Nicola Regional District, Canada
High Lakes Basin Provincial Park sits on the Nehalliston Plateau and contains multiple lakes surrounded by Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir forests at high elevation. The waters rest within a remote forest setting far from developed areas.
The park was created in 1996 to preserve a traditional travel route that connected Lac des Roches with the North Thompson valley. This decision came from recommendations made in the Kamloops Land and Resource Management Plan.
The park holds meaning for Indigenous Peoples as a place connected to their traditional knowledge about the land and its living resources. Visitors can sense this connection through the untouched character of the landscape.
Bring your own drinking water and camping gear since the park offers no facilities or services. You can reach it only on foot or horseback by following unmarked trails that branch from logging roads.
Wild rainbow trout live in the park's lakes, providing fishing in an environment without developed facilities or ranger presence. This remote setting lets the fish populations thrive undisturbed.
