Stikine River Provincial Park

Stikine River Provincial Park is a protected nature reserve in northern British Columbia featuring a dramatic canyon carved by the river. The waterway passes through steep-walled sections and wider reaches, creating a landscape of contrasting natural features.

The area became protected in the 1980s after major development schemes were proposed during the previous decade. Efforts to preserve the river landscape resulted in the park's formal establishment.

The river held traditional importance for the Tahltan people as a source for food and travel routes. Today, it draws those seeking solitude in remote wilderness settings.

The park sits in a remote location best reached by personal vehicle using regional highways. Planning ahead is important since services nearby are limited.

The river narrows to less than 2 meters wide in certain spots and expands to much wider sections elsewhere. These dramatic shifts in water width create an ever-changing landscape for visitors to witness.
