Maps and location
Getting there
Located at the headwaters of Bishop River and next to the southern end of Ts’ylʔos Park. This park can be accessed by boat up Bute Inlet to Waddington Harbour, or by helicopter with a valid permit. To the south of the harbour there is a forest service road (roughly 75 km) that follows up along the Southgate River and ends close to the western boundary of the park. There are no roads or trails into the park.
Things to do
The park is open to hunting during the lawful game hunting season. Please check the Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis for more information.
Anyone hunting in British Columbia must comply with BC hunting regulations. To learn more, see the fishing and hunting guide.
Facilities
Campfires are permitted. Fires must be attended at all times, and fully extinguished prior to leaving. We encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead.
Campfire bans may be in place. Before lighting a fire, check for bans or restrictions on BC Wildfire Service and on local or Indigenous government websites.
Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples
BC Parks honours Indigenous Peoples’ connection to the land and respects the importance of their diverse teachings, traditions, and practices within these territories. This park webpage may not adequately represent the full history of this park and the connection of Indigenous Peoples to this land. We are working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples to update our websites so that they better reflect the history and cultures of these special places.
