Monashee Provincial Park

Monashee Provincial Park spans 7,513 hectares of mountain wilderness with peaks reaching 3,000 meters, featuring dense forests, alpine meadows, and over 100 lakes.

The park, established in 1962, contains some of British Columbia's oldest rock formations and preserves untouched watersheds with substantial old-growth cedar forests.

The land holds traditional significance for the Syilx people of Okanagan, who maintained connections with this territory before the park's establishment.

Spectrum Lake campground offers 16 sites with tent platforms and fire rings, located 6 kilometers from the trailhead along Spectrum Creek Forest Service Road.

The park names reflect early explorers' experiences, including Belly-Up Canyon and Valley of the Moon, situated at 2,439 meters elevation.
