About this park
Within the traditional territory of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation.
Boulder Creek became a provincial park in the year 1999.
The park protects a small parcel of mostly old growth hemlock and a small amount of subalpine fir, spruce and pine with a rich mossy undergrowth indicative of an old growth forest. The stand age class is approximately greater than 250 years. The Ministry of Sustainable Resources designated the Boulder Creek Valley as a Forest Ecosystems Network to protect its natural values and provide wildlife habitat.
Moose, bears, and coyotes are known to frequent the area.
