Cedar Point Provincial Park, Provincial park on Quesnel Lake, British Columbia, Canada
Cedar Point Provincial Park is a nature reserve on the western shore of Quesnel Lake in the Cariboo region. The grounds feature old-growth cedar trees, camping areas, and an outdoor mining museum with historical equipment and mock mining shafts.
Cedar Point, on the western arm of Quesnel Lake, was noted as a meeting and trading point on a Hudson's Bay Company map of 1832. The land was hunting and settlement territory of the Tsilhqot'in and Secwepemc First Nations before European settlement. The park itself was established on 23 January 1962 as a Class C provincial park of about 8 hectares.
The park holds a small, privately run open-air mining museum that presents the area's mining history. It is one of the few facilities of its kind in the Cariboo region, and it sits beside the western arm of Quesnel Lake, where the park's 29 campsites and boat ramp are also found.
The park is accessible by vehicle and has camping sites suitable for tents and recreational vehicles. Visitors can walk through the grounds to explore the lake access points and the mining museum displays.
Cedar Point was already marked on a Hudson's Bay Company map in 1832 as a meeting and trading point, decades before the park existed. The site lies on the western arm of Quesnel Lake, about 100 km northwest of Williams Lake, beside the Cariboo Mountains.
