Valhalla Provincial Park, Provincial park in Central Kootenay, Canada.

Valhalla Provincial Park is a large protected area in the Central Kootenay region that spreads across the Valhalla Ranges of the Selkirk Mountains. The park features about 30 kilometers of shoreline along Slocan Lake with varied terrain ranging from dense forests to alpine heights.

The protected area was designated as a provincial park in 1983 following years of advocacy by the Valhalla Society. This official recognition came as a result of conservationists' efforts to preserve the value of this mountain landscape.

The name comes from Norse myth: Valhalla is the hall where slain warriors gather, and the park's peaks were named after figures of that mythology. The Valhalla Society, led by Colleen McCrory, took the name for the campaign that led to the park's creation in 1983.

Access is limited: the park has few entry points, reached from near Slocan on the east side of Slocan Lake, and the 30 km of shoreline can also be followed by boat. Trails are unmarked in places, so carry a map and allow for the climb from lakeshore to alpine terrain. The park is popular with climbers.

The area is known for its varied ecosystems ranging from dense forests to alpine zones that support numerous native wildlife species. This diversity allows visitors to experience several very different natural landscapes in a short time.
