Bear Glacier Provincial Park

Bear Glacier Provincial Park encompasses 542 hectares of glacial formations, mountains, and rivers within British Columbia's wilderness landscape.

The provincial park received its official designation on May 11, 2000, following the implementation of the Nisga'a Treaty Appendix G-3.

The park stands as a research station for scientists studying glacial movements and environmental changes in British Columbia's northern region.

Visitors can observe the glacier directly from designated pullouts along Highway 37A, which connects Meziadin Junction to Stewart.

The toe section of Bear Glacier appears in the final scenes of the motion picture Insomnia, featuring actor Al Pacino.
