Maps and location
Getting there
The park is located approximately 150 km northwest of Vancouver or 60 km northwest of Pemberton at the headwaters of the Lillooet River.
To reach Upper Lillooet Park, visitors drive to Pemberton and then along the Upper Lillooet forest service road on the north side of the Lillooet River, approximately 70 km to the boundary of the park. The road ends just outside the park boundary. Rough logging roads extend up Meager Creek towards the south end, but not into, the park. Helicopter access, with a valid permit, has been moderately popular mostly for accessing base camp areas in the alpine portions of the park.
Camping
Things to do
Hunting is permitted only during lawful game hunting season. Check with Hunting and Trapping Synopsis for regulations.
Facilities
Campfires are permitted. Fires must be attended at all times, and fully extinguished prior to leaving. We encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead.
About this park
The park contains the blue-listed cottonwood-willow-thimbleberry plant community and the blue-listed smooth willowherb.
Grizzly bear, black bear, black-tailed deer, wolves, moose, mountain goat, wolverine, raptors and waterfowl can all be found in the park.
Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples
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.
