Todagin South Slope Provincial Park, Provincial park in Stikine Region, Canada
Todagin South Slope Provincial Park is a protected area in the Stikine Region featuring alpine meadows, dense forests, and mountain landscapes accessible via the Stewart Cassiar Highway. The terrain includes diverse ecosystems that support both plants and wildlife adapted to these northern conditions.
The British Columbia government designated this area as a protected zone in 2001 to preserve the region's natural ecosystems and wildlife. This decision acknowledged the landscape's importance for animal populations and future generations.
The park sits on traditional hunting territories where First Nations communities have maintained deep connections to the land for generations. These territories remain meaningful to the people whose ancestors lived here long before any formal protection was established.
The park is accessible by road near Dease Lake, though visitors should be well-prepared since the location is remote and conditions can be challenging. Hiking, wildlife viewing, and photography are the main activities available throughout the year.
The protected area supports the world's largest population of Stone Sheep, mountain-dwelling animals that find ideal conditions here. These sheep use the south-facing slopes as crucial breeding grounds where newborns develop strength in the spring.
