Finn Creek Park is on the North Thompson River about 70 kilometres northeast of Clearwater. BC Parks says it includes the braided lower Finn Creek, a deep meandering channel, and islands in the North Thompson River.
No camping or day-use facilities are provided.
Finn Creek is a river-habitat park for experienced visitors planning around paddling access, fishing, spawning salmon viewing, wildlife habitat, and low-impact travel. BC Parks identifies high values for chinook, coho, and bull trout spawning, plus grizzly bear and moose habitat.
A canoe or kayak is necessary to access the North Thompson River in this area. BC Parks warns paddlers to use caution because sweepers and log jams may not be visible in advance. Fishing is available with the required licence.
Wildlife viewing has no platform inside the park, but BC Parks says it is a good spot for viewing spawning chinook and other wildlife. A local regional district day-use area about three kilometres from the park offers a viewing platform over a river feature.
The park also contains old Highway 5 along the west side, old homesites, and Pinkie Peak beside the east boundary, once used by surveyors as a lookout.
Plan around cautious canoe or kayak access, North Thompson River fishing, spawning chinook viewing, moose habitat awareness, birdwatching, winter snowshoeing or backcountry skiing, pipeline-right-of-way snowmobiling, and seasonal hunting.
Bring drinking water, expect no facilities or maintained winter trails, check fishing and hunting rules, and treat backcountry areas as unsuitable for pets because of wildlife and bear concerns.
