King George VI Provincial Park

King George VI Provincial Park, Provincial park in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, British Columbia, Canada

King George VI Provincial Park is a 162-acre provincial park in British Columbia, established by Order in Council on May 3, 1937. It lies along Highway 22 near Rossland, at about 981 metres above sea level. The park has no facilities or trails; its old-growth black cottonwood stands shelter it from neighbouring mixed-use areas.

The park was established in 1937 through an official order to commemorate King George VI's coronation. This creation reflected Canada's efforts at that time to protect important natural landscapes.

The name commemorates the coronation of George VI in 1937, when the park was created by Order in Council. It was first meant as a rest area and campground for travellers on BC Highway 22 arriving from the United States; after repeated vandalism, BC Parks removed the facilities and let the site return to its natural state.

There are no facilities and no trails, so bring your own food and water. The park lies on Highway 22 near Rossland, about 7.5 km south of the town, at roughly 981 m elevation. The old cottonwood stand shelters the site from the surrounding mixed-use land.

The old-growth black cottonwood stand shelters cavity-nesting birds such as barred owls, pileated woodpeckers and red-naped sapsuckers. The park was created in 1937 as a rest area and campground for travellers on Highway 22 arriving from the United States, but repeated vandalism led BC Parks to remove the facilities and let the site revert to its natural state.
