Babine Mountains Provincial Park, Provincial park in Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, Canada.
Babine Mountains Provincial Park is a protected area in Bulkley-Nechako covering roughly 31,000 hectares between Smithers and Babine Lake. It contains mountain ridges, glacier-fed lakes, and sub-alpine meadows spread across the terrain.
The area was first designated as a recreation area in 1984 before becoming a provincial park in 1999 under its current name. This change reflected increased protection measures for the landscape.
The land belongs to the traditional territories of the Wet'suwet'en and Ned'u'ten peoples, whose knowledge shaped the trails you walk on today. This heritage remains visible in how the pathways connect to the landscape.
The Joe L'Orsa Cabin in Silver King Basin accommodates up to 20 people and has cooking facilities with water nearby. Visitors should prepare for mountain weather and bring sufficient supplies for their stay.
The park manages different routes for hiking, biking, and horseback riding on designated paths throughout the area. This separation allows different users to enjoy their activities without interfering with each other.
