Wire Cache Provincial Park

Wire Cache Provincial Park spans 50 hectares along the North Thompson River, featuring cottonwood forests, wetlands, and diverse wildlife habitats.

The park name originated from telegraph wire remnants left in 1878 when the government canceled a contract to build a line from Cache Creek to Edmonton.

The conservation area represents the natural heritage of British Columbia through protected ecosystems of spruce, cedar, and riverside vegetation.

Visitors access recreational activities including boating and fishing on the North Thompson River, with Vavenby serving as the nearest settlement.

The series of river bends within the park creates distinct wetland zones that support different plant communities and animal species.
