Stikine River Provincial Park, Nature reserve and provincial park in Stikine Region, Canada

The Grand Canyon section of Stikine River extends 80 kilometers through the park, with walls reaching heights of 300 meters.

The Tahltan people established settlements along the Stikine River before European exploration began in the late 1800s for telegraph purposes.

The park received protection status in 1987 after local communities advocated against development plans proposed by BC Hydro in the 1970s.

Access to the park requires traveling 440 kilometers east from Prince George on Highway 16, then north for 490 kilometers on Highway 37.

The river width varies dramatically throughout the canyon, ranging from 200 meters to just 2 meters at its narrowest point.

Location: Stikine Region

Inception: 1987

GPS coordinates: 57.93333,-129.00000
