The park extends over 989,616 acres across eastern Kitimat Ranges, northern Pacific Ranges, and Rainbow Range, featuring glaciers, lakes, and rivers.

Alexander Mackenzie traveled through this area in 1793, becoming the first European to reach the Pacific Coast of North America by land.

The Nuxalk people maintain traditional connections to the park's waterways, particularly through salmon fishing in the Atnarko River system.

Visitors can access the park via Highway 20, with fuel and supplies available in nearby Anahim Lake or Nimpo Lake.
