Chinchaga Wildland Provincial Park, Provincial park in Clear Hills County, Canada.

The park extends across 802 square kilometers of wilderness, containing forests, wetlands, and the slopes of Halverson Ridge near the British Columbia border.

The region experienced a substantial forest fire in June 1950, known as the Chinchaga Firestorm, which became one of North America's largest recorded fires.

First Nations and Métis populations traditionally used the Chinchaga area for hunting activities before its designation as a protected provincial park in 1999.

Access to the park requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle via the Chinchaga Forestry Road, located approximately 20 kilometers north of Manning.

The park contains essential nesting grounds for trumpeter swans and serves as a protected range for the declining Chinchaga woodland caribou herd.
