Hiking
There are no developed trails at this park. User-created routes do exist into and through the park. They are often unmarked and steep, exposed and very rough. Use caution when hiking on these routes.
Wildlife viewing
The cave system, significant surface karst features and old-growth forest provide ample opportunities for interesting viewing at this park.
Pets on leash

Pets and domestic animals must be under control all times. You are responsible for their behaviour and must dispose of their excrement. Dogs are not permitted in caves. Backcountry areas are not suitable for dogs or other pets due to wildlife issues and the potential for problems with bears.

Caving

White Ridge Park is known for its extensive cave system. Most caves are suitable for experienced cavers only. Although there may be potential for caving opportunities in the future, this area is sensitive and use is not recommended until a management plan is complete. 

White-nose syndrome 
White-nose syndrome is a fungal disease that has been linked to mass die-off of hibernating bats in North America. It poses a significant threat to colonies in British Columbia. Please read the White nose syndrome fact sheet [PDF] to understand the disease, how to limit it’s spread, and find out what cavers and park visitors can do to help. 

Hunting
