Goat Range Provincial Park, Provincial park in Central Kootenay, Canada.
Goat Range Provincial Park is a wilderness area in the Selkirk Mountains spanning between several lakes in British Columbia. The protected territory covers mountainous terrain with dense forests, alpine meadows, and clear lakes.
The area became a provincial park in 1995 and contains remnants of mining activities and a railway terminus from the 1880s at the south end of Trout Lake. These traces reflect earlier human use of the region.
The land holds significance for Okanagan, Shuswap, and Ktunaxa-kinbasket First Nations communities who carried out traditional practices and food gathering here.
The park has minimal facilities and offers wilderness camping without potable water, so visitors should bring water or collect it on site. Visitors must follow strict guidelines for waste management and wildlife protection.
The area is the only natural spawning ground for Gerrard rainbow trout in this region. These fish are notable for their size and attract the attention of nature watchers.
