Driftwood Canyon Provincial Park, Provincial park with fossil beds in Bulkley Valley, Canada.

Driftwood Canyon Provincial Park covers 23 hectares on the east side of Driftwood Creek, 10 km northeast of Smithers. A short interpretive trail ends at a cliff face of Eocene shales laid down in an inter-montane lake, with volcanic ash beds between the shale layers. The ash has been dated at 51.77 ± 0.34 million years ago.

The fossil beds were discovered around the beginning of the 20th century, and fish specimens from Driftwood Canyon entered the Canadian Museum of Nature in the 1930s; the beds themselves have been studied since the 1950s. Gordon Harvey (1913–1976) donated the land in 1967 to protect the fossil beds on the east side of Driftwood Creek, creating the park. A volcanic ash bed in the shale was dated at 51.77 ± 0.34 million years ago.

The park lies within the asserted traditional territory of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation. The interpretive signs installed in 2010 describe Wet'suwet'en fishing and other cultural practices in the Driftwood Creek area, both traditional and present-day, alongside the fossil and forest displays.

You reach the fossil viewing area via a wheelchair-accessible path starting from the parking lot and leading to an interpretive bridge over Driftwood Creek. The pathways are well maintained, making it easy for most visitors to explore the site.

A fossil green lacewing from the beds was named Pseudochrysopa harveyi in 2013 to honour Gordon Harvey, who donated the land. Fossil palm beetles found in the shale confirm that palms grew around the Eocene lake, and rare bird feathers and rodent bones inside fish coprolites have also been collected.
