Mount Fernie Provincial Park, Provincial park in East Kootenay, Canada.

The park extends across 259 hectares at the base of Mount Fernie, containing western larch forests, Douglas fir groves, and Lizard Creek waterfalls.

William Fernie established the area's coal mining industry in the late 1800s after discovering coal deposits in the surrounding mountain ranges.

The regional history includes interactions between early settlers and the Tobacco Plains Indian tribe, who maintained strong connections to these lands.

The park operates from May through September, offering 40 campsites with basic facilities including flush toilets, showers, and drinking water stations.

Black bears, elk, and deer regularly pass through the park grounds, making wildlife observation a common occurrence for visitors.
