Spatsizi Headwaters Provincial Park, Provincial park in Stikine Region, Canada
Spatsizi Headwaters Provincial Park is a protected area in the Stikine Region of northern British Columbia. The landscape features alpine meadows and glacial lakes that form the source waters of the Spatsizi River system.
The park was established in 2001 to protect the headwaters of the Spatsizi River following a regional land management plan. This action was part of broader efforts to safeguard this river system and its surroundings.
The protected area sits within the traditional territories of the Tahltan First Nations and Carrier Sekani Tribal Council, holding spiritual significance for these communities.
Visitors should prepare for high-altitude conditions and variable weather, as the area sits at significant elevation. Access is via an old railroad grade, which limits how easily the park can be reached and requires advance planning.
The area contains high-altitude lakes and meadows that receive very few visitors each year. This remoteness preserves a landscape that has developed with minimal human interference and remains largely untouched.
