Burges and James Gadsden Provincial Park
Burges and James Gadsden Provincial Park, Nature reserve near Golden, Canada.
The park spans 404 hectares between the Trans Canada Highway and Columbia River, featuring marshlands, forests, and extensive wetland ecosystems.
In 1965, pioneer Burges James Gadsden donated the initial portion of land to British Columbia, establishing this protected natural area.
The Columbia River Wetlands within the park serve as essential grounds for indigenous communities, who maintain strong connections to these lands.
Visitors can observe wildlife from designated viewing areas along the Trans Canada Highway or explore walking paths on developed dikes.
The park forms part of the Pacific Flyway, providing critical resting zones for thousands of migratory birds throughout their seasonal journeys.
