About this park
Established April 30, 1996.
The park encompasses a mosaic of habitats which include floodplain wetlands, back channels, beaver ponds, small oxbow cut-offs (lakes), cottonwoods and sedge meadows. It shows early successional stages on delta formations, with old-growth mixed cedar, hemlock and spruce on steep slopes on both sides.
Important bull trout spawning and possible coho salmon spawning and rearing. Excellent moose calving and year-round habitat that could be spring grizzly range.
