Anhluut'ukwsim Laxmihl Angwinga'asanskwhl Nisga'a

Anhluut'ukwsim Laxmihl Angwinga'asanskwhl Nisga'a is a provincial park in northwestern British Columbia featuring an expansive lava field with varied rock formations shaped by past volcanic activity. The terrain spans four distinct biogeoclimatic zones and includes lakes, rivers, and diverse natural landscapes across the region.

The area was established as a provincial park in 1992 following a significant volcanic eruption in 1760 that affected local Nisga'a communities. This historical event remains central to understanding the park's landscape and its importance to the region.

The area represents a shared management approach between BC Parks and the Nisga'a First Nation focused on land protection. Local Nisga'a communities maintain deep connections to this landscape and its volcanic heritage.

The park provides camping facilities with basic amenities for visitors exploring the landscape. Access is best achieved on foot or through guided tours that showcase the volcanic terrain and natural lakes throughout the area.

A lake formed when volcanic flows created a natural dam on the Nass River, producing a distinctive geological feature. This unexpected outcome shows how volcanic activity reshaped waterways and landforms across the region.
