Burnt Bridge Creek Conservancy was established as part of government’s land use decision in the Central Coast planning area. Burnt Bridge Conservancy abuts the western boundary of Tweedsmuir Park and has significant historical and cultural values.
The conservancy includes a portion of the Nuxalk-Carrier Grease trail system, which was established by First Nations for trade between the west coast and the interior of British Columbia. The area is also historically significant as the location where Alexander Mackenzie first reached the Bella Coola Valley in 1793.
This conservancy is located approximately 25 kilometres west of Bella Coola.
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.
