Fraser River Park | British Columbia

Fraser River Park is a 4,899 hectare provincial park on the west bank of the Fraser River, about 35 kilometres south of Prince George on Highway 97 South. BC Parks says it represents moist hot and dry sub-boreal spruce forests.

The park is part of the Canadian Heritage Rivers System.

Why Visit Fraser River Park

Fraser River Park is a conservation-focused park for visitors researching Fraser River forest ecosystems, wildlife winter range, horseback access, and regulated hunting rather than developed recreation.

BC Parks highlights high wildlife values and excellent deer and moose winter range. The official page also notes that there are no developed trails and no facilities in the park, so planning should stay conservative and self-sufficient.

Visitor activities are limited. Pets must be leashed and kept away from beach areas or park buildings, horseback riding is allowed but access is difficult, and hunting is permitted during open season under provincial regulations. The park's west-bank river setting and sub-boreal spruce forest representation make it useful for protected-area context along the Highway 97 corridor south of Prince George and the Fraser River.

Things To Do

Plan around Fraser River landscape study, sub-boreal spruce forest context, deer and moose winter-range awareness, difficult horseback access research, low-impact wildlife observation, map review, and seasonal hunting where permitted.

Planning Notes

Bring drinking water because potable water is not available. Do not expect facilities or developed trails, keep pets leashed, check hunting regulations, and prepare for a simple self-sufficient visit on the west bank.
