Monkman Provincial Park

Monkman Provincial Park is a large nature reserve in the Hart Ranges of Northern Rockies, featuring high mountain meadows, extensive spruce forests, and rugged limestone cliffs. The landscape is shaped by multiple rivers and creeks that flow through valleys and canyons throughout the park.

The park was created in 1981 and expanded later to include additional valleys and lakes in its protected territory. This growth allowed more of this wild mountain landscape to be safeguarded.

The land has been home to Dakelh, Tse'kene, Métis, Denédah, and Secwépemc peoples for centuries. This heritage is woven into the names of places you encounter and the pathways you walk through the park.

The park is accessed through Tumbler Ridge, where a forest road is drivable and leads to a campground with multiple trail access points. Bring weather-appropriate clothing, as conditions in the mountains can change quickly.

The park features a major waterfall that plunges over a geological fault line, creating a striking natural landmark. This spot shows dramatically how water power has carved through the mountain landscape over time.
