Park overview
Beaver Valley Park was established as a result of the Cariboo-Chilcotin Land-Use Plan Goal 2 (Special Feature) process.
It is characterized by annually inundated floodplain and a chain of lakes and wetlands connected by a meandering stream. The unique combination of a long growing season, a moist hot climate and the biologically rich stream, wetland and lake complex make the park highly productive in terms of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
Species at risk found in the area include trumpeter swans, sandhill cranes, fishers, northern bitterns, wolverine, sharp-tailed grouse, and great blue heron.
Advisories
The park is located approximately 50 kilometres southeast of Quesnel.
