Chase Park is a remote BC Parks wilderness area centred on Carina and Tomias lakes, 70 kilometres north of Germansen Landing. BC Parks describes it as an extensive, virtually untouched area of mixed forest and rolling mountain topography.
The park protects critical habitat for the Chase-Sustut woodland caribou herd.
Chase Park is for self-sufficient wilderness travellers who are prepared for difficult access and no facilities. The park encompasses 36,266 hectares and was established as a Class A park on April 11, 2001 after being identified through the Mackenzie Land and Resource Management Plan process.
There are no developed trails. Hiking requires backcountry knowledge, proper maps, and experience. Fishing opportunities include lake trout, Arctic grayling, rainbow trout, and bull trout populations. Hunting is permitted during open season, subject to provincial rules.
The park also has cultural context as a First Nations traditional use area for hunting, fishing, and gathering, with many traditional trails that were and are still used by First Nations groups.
It also protects young mixed boreal forest between the Omineca Mountains and Williston Trench.
Plan around self-reliant backcountry hiking, Carina Lake and Tomias Lake wilderness travel, lake trout, Arctic grayling, rainbow trout and bull trout fishing, caribou habitat awareness, cultural trail respect, and hunting during open season.
There is no road into the park, no bridge over the Mesilinka River, no facilities, no potable water, and no nearby supplies. Use proper maps, suitable clothing, four-wheel-drive planning, and full backcountry equipment.
