Hiking

A short 2 km loop nature trail allows visitors to stroll through an old-growth forest. The trail is an interpretive hike and has an easy grade. For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.

Canoeing

There are opportunities for canoeing or kayaking in this protected area. This location provides access to the Skeena River and upper Exchamsiks River.

Fishing

Anyone fishing or angling in British Columbia must have an appropriate licence. Both the Exchamsiks and Skeena Rivers provide excellent fishing opportunities. Please refer to current fishing regulations.

Pets on leash

Pets and domestic animals must be on a leash at all times and are not allowed in beach areas or park buildings. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.

Cycling

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 Exchamsiks River Protected Area. 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.
