Border Lake Park rests in the Unuk River Valley, on the border of Alaska, about 180km south of the community of Telegraph Creek. The occasional river rafter will enjoy the pristine, wild waters of the Unuk River, flowing through the park and into Misty Fjords National Monument in Alaska.
The highly productive wetland complex surrounding three small lakes included in the park offers habitat for a wide range of vegetation, waterfowl, mammals and fish.
Established Date: January 25, 2001
Park Size: 814 hectares
Wilderness camping is allowed, but no facilities are provided.
Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence.
Border Lake Park is extremely remote. No road access is available and Border Lake is too small to land float planes. Visitors may reach the upper reaches of the Unuk River by air, then raft down to the park.
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.
