Great Glacier Provincial Park

Great Glacier Provincial Park extends across 9,300 hectares of mountainous terrain between the Stikine River and the Canada-United States border with Alaska.

The British Columbia government established Great Glacier Provincial Park on January 25, 2001 to protect the glacier and surrounding mountain landscape.

The Tahltan and Tlingit First Nations maintain a deep connection to this land, where their ancestors engaged in their final territorial conflict.

The park remains accessible solely through water transportation along the Stikine River, with facilities limited to a rustic campground containing fire rings and bear caches.

From the western bank of the Stikine River, a one-kilometer trail leads visitors through old-growth forest to an outwash lake filled with turquoise water.
