Lava Forks Provincial Park

The park covers 7,463 hectares of land with alpine tundra, coastal forests, and river ecosystems in northwestern British Columbia.

The establishment of Lava Forks Provincial Park in 2001 marked the protection of the site where Canada's most recent volcanic eruption occurred in 1904.

The park territory belongs to the Tahltan Nation, representing centuries of indigenous presence and traditions in the northern British Columbia region.

Access to the park requires helicopter transportation or multiple days of hiking, as there are no roads or water routes leading into the protected area.

The geological formations include lava-dammed lakes, ash dunes, pot holes with clear pools, and lava flows from the 1904 volcanic event.
