Atlin/A Téix'gi Aan Tlein Provincial Park, Provincial park in northwestern British Columbia, Canada
Atlin/A Téix'gi Aan Tlein Provincial Park is a protected area in northwestern British Columbia encompassing mountains, glaciers, and lakes spread across remote terrain. The park covers portions of the Juneau Icefield and extends over a significant section of Atlin Lake.
The park was established in 1973 following environmental concerns about a proposed hydroelectric project that would have diverted water from Atlin Lake. Its creation protected the region from this potential alteration.
The Taku River Tlingit First Nation maintains strong connections to the land, with archaeological evidence at 40 sites confirming their extended presence.
Access is only by boat or floatplane since roads do not reach the park, and visitors must bring all necessary supplies as facilities are absent. Plan accordingly for the remote setting and lack of amenities.
The park contains multiple named mountain peaks, with Mount Nesselrode standing as the highest point. This abundance of peaks shapes the rugged character of the landscape.
