Graham-Laurier Park is a remote wilderness park west of the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains, about 145 kilometres northwest of Fort St. John. BC Parks highlights Christina Falls, Lady Laurier Lake, alpine vistas, and abundant wildlife as major features.
Motorized access only reaches within about 10 kilometres of the southeast corner by the Halfway and Graham Forest Service road.
Graham-Laurier Park is for backcountry travellers who want a remote Peace region mountain trip with limited development. Hunting is the main recreation activity listed by BC Parks, while horseback riding, hiking, wildlife and scenery viewing, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing are also noted.
Christina Falls is the standout destination. The undeveloped Christina Falls Trail is 22 kilometres long and open to ATV use as well as non-motorized travel. Other non-motorized routes follow Emmerslund Creek, Needham Creek, Horn Creek, and the Graham River.
The park protects a transition from foothills to Rocky Mountain landscapes, including old-growth river-bottom forest, subalpine drainages, and alpine tundra. Sport fish include bull trout, Arctic grayling, and rainbow trout. Wildlife viewing may include moose, elk, stone sheep, caribou, mountain goats, and bears.
Plan around remote hiking, Christina Falls travel, horseback riding, fishing, wildlife viewing, wilderness camping, paddling where conditions allow, scenery photography, and seasonal hunting where open and permitted.
Prepare for all weather and carry first aid, extra food, and extra clothing. Treat or filter all backcountry water. Tread lightly in fragile alpine and subalpine areas, and remember any outfitter or contractor cabins are privately owned.
