Maps and location
Getting there
Bulkley Junction Park is located directly across from Hazelton and the confluence of the Skeena and Bulkley Rivers. Bulkley Junction is easily accessed via the Kitwanga Back Road, which bisects the park. The back road is accessed from the Kispiox Valley Road at a point just north of the Skeena River bridge. The nearest communities, Kispiox, New Hazelton and Old Hazelton.
Things to do
Bulkley Junction Park provides easy access to fishing opportunities on the Skeena River. This park is being protected to allow public access to the confluence of the Skeena and Bulkley rivers for purposes of seasonal salmon fishing.
Anyone fishing in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. To learn more, see the fishing and hunting guide.
Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash at all times. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement.
Bicycles must keep to roadways. Bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia.
Please note that bicycles with electric assist motors (e-bikes) are not allowed on the trails within Bulkley Junction Park. E-bikes are restricted to park roads and areas where motorized use is permitted. The only exception to this policy will be for authorized and identified trail maintenance bikes conducting work on behalf of BC Parks.
Hunting is permitted in this park.
Anyone hunting in British Columbia must comply with BC hunting regulations. To learn more, see the fishing and hunting guide.
Facilities
Visitors must supply their own firewood. You can conserve firewood and air quality by keeping your campfire small. Be prepared to bring a portable stove for cooking.
To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park. Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.
About this park
Bulkley Junction Park lies in the asserted traditional territory of the Gitxsan people. An old cart trail and possibly a grease trail may have passed through the area.
The park protects a portion of the Nass Ranges ecosection and a riparian zone on the Skeena River’s alluvial floodplain. Also protected is a gently sloping glaciofluvial terrace, a possible freshwater spring along the park’s northeast bank, as well as moose and bear habitat.
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.
