Netalzul Meadows is located in the Harold-Price watershed, about 50 km north of Smithers. The park is comprised of an unusual wet meadow complex, as well as a spectacular waterfall and rare plant species.
The park has opportunities for wildlife viewing, nature appreciation and study, viewing of a 100 m waterfall, hunting and hiking.
There are no maintained trails within this park but game trails provide hiking opportunities within the meadow and down to the waterfall. Experience with a map and compass or GPS is essential. Hikers should make plenty of noise and be prepared for encounters with wildlife as the thick brush in the meadow makes for poor visibility.
This remote park provides great opportunities for viewing various bird species in the meadow.
The park is open to hunting. All hunters to the area should refer to the current BC Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis for more information.
Netalzul Meadows is not easily accessible. Travel time off Highway 16 is approximately 1.5 - 2 hours and includes 140 km of mostly unpaved, narrow roads and 1 km of hard to follow trails. Once in the park, thick undergrowth and tall meadow plants make for difficult travel.
Netalzul Meadows is accessed via the Upper Fulton (3000) Forest Service Road, off Babine Lake Road. At km 51 of the Upre Fulton (3000) FSR, turn onto an unarked road on the right. This rough road ends at a creek crossing. There is a parking area and an ATV trail leading to the Camp Lake. The ATV trail continues northwest into an old cutblock with substantial regrowth. Experience with a map and compass or a GPS will be needed to navigate through the cutblock and into the meadow.
