Arctic Pacific Lakes Provincial Park

Arctic Pacific Lakes Provincial Park spans 13,887 hectares of wilderness, featuring three lakes nestled within a narrow valley amid mountain peaks and ridges.

The park contains the 1793 route of explorer Alexander Mackenzie, who used this passage through the continental divide during his journey across Canada.

The territory holds significance for indigenous Secwépemc people, who managed local resources before European fur traders arrived in the nineteenth century.

Access to the park requires navigating through Arctic Lake, Portage Lake, and Pacific Lake, with a single established trail connecting Arctic and Pacific Lakes.

The lakes within the park create a natural division where water flows in two directions: westward to the Pacific Ocean and northward to the Arctic Ocean.
