Andy Bailey Provincial Park

The park extends across 196 hectares of natural terrain at 488 meters elevation, featuring black and white spruce forests inhabited by moose, beavers, and foxes.

Established in 1979 as Jackfish Lake Recreation Area, the site received provincial park status in 1999 before transferring to local government management in 2005.

The name honors Andy Bailey, a Fort Nelson pioneer who constructed the initial access trails and roads while maintaining strong community involvement.

Located 28 kilometers southeast of Fort Nelson, the park maintains 13 campsites with basic facilities, including pit toilets and a boat launch for non-motorized watercraft.

During different seasons, the park transforms from a summer hiking destination to a winter cross-country skiing location within the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality.
