Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park, Provincial park in British Columbia, Canada.
Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park spreads across the eastern Kitimat Ranges, northern Pacific Ranges, and Rainbow Range with massive glaciers and countless lakes. Rivers carve through the landscape, creating waterways that shape the terrain and offer routes through the wilderness.
Alexander Mackenzie traveled through this area in 1793 and became the first European to reach the Pacific Coast of North America by land. This journey opened the region to wider knowledge and became an important moment in the exploration of the continent.
The Nuxalk people continue to use the park's rivers and waterways according to their traditions. The Atnarko River remains especially important for salmon fishing and holds deep cultural meaning for the community.
Access to the park is via Highway 20, with fuel and supplies available in nearby Anahim Lake or Nimpo Lake. Visitors should prepare well since the location is remote and resources are limited once you enter the wilderness.
