Pink Mountain Provincial Park, Provincial park in Peace River Regional District, Canada.
Pink Mountain Provincial Park is a protected area within the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains featuring rolling terrain and forest cover. The park spans around 98 hectares at elevations reaching approximately 1600 meters.
The protected area was established in 1999 following a regional land management plan that identified the need to safeguard natural resources. This action helped preserve sensitive habitats throughout the rolling landscape.
The land holds deep meaning for Sekani and Dunneza First Nations who traditionally hunted beaver here and gathered during summer months. These connections to the territory remain important to these communities today.
The park sits roughly 180 kilometers northwest of Fort St. John and is accessed via Road 192, which features tight switchbacks. Access is possible from late spring through fall, depending on road conditions.
The area contains the largest ichthyosaur fossil ever discovered, a remnant of ancient marine reptiles from the distant past. It also provides habitat for rare arctic butterflies found at their southernmost range in this region.
