Mudzenchoot

Mudzenchoot Provincial Park protects 644 square kilometers of pristine wilderness in north-central British Columbia, encompassing the Mudzenchoot River watershed and surrounding mountainous terrain in the traditional territory of the Carrier Nation. The park name derives from the Carrier language, reflecting Indigenous connections spanning thousands of years. Established in 2001, the park preserves old-growth forests, alpine meadows, and important salmon-bearing streams within a landscape of rugged mountains and deep valleys. Located in the Omineca region, the park provides critical habitat for grizzly bears, mountain caribou, and numerous other species requiring large areas of undisturbed wilderness. Its remote location has maintained ecological integrity while offering exceptional backcountry recreation opportunities for experienced wilderness travelers seeking solitude and natural beauty.
