Northern Rocky Mountains Provincial Park

Northern Rocky Mountains Provincial Park spreads across about 6,600 square kilometers in northeastern British Columbia, containing mountains, rivers, lakes, and valleys. The landscape ranges from steep mountain passes to wide river valleys with dense forests and open meadows.

The park was established in December 1986 as a protected area and expanded significantly in June 1999 with the addition of Wokkpash Recreation Area. Since then it has grown to become one of the largest protected wilderness regions in northern British Columbia.

The Dene First Nations and Metis Nation have deep ties to this land that shape how people engage with the park today. You can sense this connection in the way locals and visitors move through and care for the rivers, forests, and mountains.

The park interior is only reachable by riverboat, aircraft, horseback, or hiking since no roads lead directly into the protected area. Plan for challenging multi-day trips and bring proper gear for backcountry travel.

The Wokkpash Valley-MacDonald Creek Loop Trail lets hikers observe geological formations shaped by ancient glaciers. These rock structures reveal layers of the landscape's ice age past and the tremendous forces that carved the mountains.
