This park, located north east of Chilko Lake in the Chilcotin Plateau, was established to protect valuable moose habitat. It encompasses abundant wetlands and small lakes.
Activities present in the area before the park’s creation, and still permitted today, include hunting, trapping, and cattle grazing. The historical importance of these uses is recognized, and there is a commitment in the Cariboo-Chilcotin Land-Use Plan to ensuring that such activities continue at existing levels.
