Atlin Park is a remote BC Parks site in the Skeena East region, in the northwest corner of British Columbia. BC Parks says visitors cannot access the park by vehicle and must enter by boat or aircraft from the Atlin area.
The park includes Atlin Mountain, Atlin River, Graham Inlet shoreline, and upper Willison Creek area additions.
Atlin is for experienced wilderness travellers seeking glaciers, cold northern lakes, hiking, paddling, fishing, hunting, and winter recreation. BC Parks says the park's remoteness and varied topography create exceptional outdoor opportunities, with high cultural, recreational, and wilderness values for the Taku River Tlingit First Nation and the local community.
Hiking options include an 800 metre trail from Llewellyn Inlet to a viewpoint over Llewellyn Glacier, the 4.5 kilometre Mt. Adams Trail from Sloko Inlet to a glacial lake, the two kilometre Sloko Lake Trail, and the four kilometre Shortest Railway Trail along the abandoned Taku Tram.
Atlin Lake paddling is popular but serious. BC Parks warns that this large glacial lake has high winds, rough water, and average water temperatures around four degrees Celsius.
Plan around boat or aircraft access, glacier-view hikes, Atlin Lake canoeing and kayaking, fishing for lake trout, Arctic grayling, Dolly Varden and whitefish, hunting in season, and winter recreation.
Travellers should be experienced and well-equipped. There are no supplies or nearby park personnel. Watch stormy weather, cold water, short winter days, boat or aircraft logistics, maps, regulations, and BC Parks updates.
