Evanoff Park is in the Hart Ranges of the Canadian Rockies, about 121 kilometres east of Prince George by Highway 16, Bowron Forest Service Road, and Pass Lake Road. BC Parks says the park protects the nationally significant Fang Cave complex, including the ninth longest cave in Canada.
Other caves include Tooth Decave and Window on the West.
Evanoff is a backcountry park for experienced hikers, cavers, winter travellers, and wildlife-aware visitors. It combines remarkable caves with alpine bowls, three small alpine lakes, limestone pinnacles, ridges, and two trails.
The Fang Trail is a six kilometre hiking trail to alpine lakes, with an alternate fork toward caves along the ridge above the bowl. The Torpy Trail is a 1.5 kilometre route to a small alpine lake from a high-elevation forest road east of Pass Lake, and it continues outside the park toward Torpy Mountain.
BC Parks warns that caves are suitable only for experienced cavers. Hazards include a trail near a deep brush-covered fissure, avalanche terrain, black and grizzly bear habitat, and severe winter conditions. The park is in the traditional territory of Lheidli T'enneh Nation and is named for George Evanoff, an early explorer of the cave system.
Plan around Fang Trail hiking, Torpy Trail hiking, alpine lake viewpoints, expert-only caving, White-Nose Syndrome gear decontamination, wildlife viewing, permitted snowmobiling areas, avalanche training, and seasonal hunting where permitted.
Bring drinking water, wilderness gear, emergency equipment, and bear safety knowledge. Do not enter caves without experience, use snowmobile boundary maps, and avoid approaching wildlife encountered in winter high country.
