Facilities
Fires should be used sparingly, as they are among the most serious visual impacts in the backcountry. Always carry a stove and use it for most if not all of your cooking needs. Only build a fire when it is safe and will not cause further damage or deplete wood supplies.
While campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite, we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead.
To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil. For more information on campfires in the backcountry, click here.
Campfire bans may be in place. Before lighting a fire, check for bans or restrictions on BC Wildfire Service and on local or Indigenous government websites.
About this park
Todagin South Slope Park lies within the asserted traditional territories of the Tahltan First Nations and Carrier Sekani Tribal Council. Although archaeological studies have not been done in the park, it is likely to contain archaeological sites because high wildlife values would have attracted native and non-native usage.
Europeans first visited the area of the Stikine Country Protected Areas in 1824 and in the following year, the Hudson’s Bay Company and the Russian American Company claimed areas for trapping. The search for gold began in 1861, and by 1878 most of the Stikine River drainage had been explored. From 1896 to 1902, Andrew J. Stone conducted expeditions into the Cassiar to collect specimens for the American Museum of Natural History. With his announcements of the discovery of several “new”species of sheep and caribou, the area became a destination for hunters. Local natives worked as hunting guides and camps were set up throughout the region. Scientists began studying the significant wildlife values in the area in the 1950s and with the efforts of Tommy Walker, Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Park was designated in 1975.
Todagin South Slope Park was designated as Class A provincial park in 2001 following recommendations of the Cassiar Iskut-Stikine Land and Resource Management Plan to protect the Stone’s sheep critical wintering and lambing habitat.
Todagin South Slope Park is located in the Southern Boreal Plateau Ecosection. Two rare plants, Whorled Lousewort and Mountain Sheldon buttercup, and four rare plant communities are protected in the park.
Todagin South Slope Park contributes to a network of parks in the Stikine area which provide habitat to a wide range of animals. Three blue-listed species whose habitat is protected in Todagin Park are the wolverine, the fisher and the grizzly bear. High densities of Stone’s Sheep are found in the park which protects south facing winter range and lambing areas. Mountain goats are also found on the precipitous slopes and cliffs, while lower slopes provide high quality moose habitat. Other species found in the park include wolf and caribou.
