Incomappleux Conservancy protects the Incomappleux Valley, a remote and rugged area southeast of Revelstoke and about 70 kilometres north of Nakusp off Highway 31. BC Parks says the conservancy protects rich biodiversity in vast ancient inland forests.
The official page is clear: there is no road access, no trails, and no facilities.
Incomappleux Conservancy is best understood as a conservation landscape rather than a normal trip-planning destination. BC Parks says researchers believe some ancient inland rainforest stands here have grown undisturbed since the last ice age. The large forest retains enough moisture to create its own microclimate and supports species rarely found in the Interior, including rare coastal lichens.
Wildlife and aquatic values are also important. The valley provides habitat for grizzly bears, cougars, wolves, wolverines, and spawning bull trout, with critical bull trout spawning habitat identified on the official page.
Because there are no trails, roads, or facilities, most travellers should treat the conservancy as a protected area to learn about rather than casually visit. BC Parks is also working with interested First Nations on collaborative management planning for the valley. Public and stakeholder input remains part of that planning.
Plan around conservation research, map awareness, learning about ancient inland rainforest values, distant landscape appreciation, and understanding bull trout and rare lichen habitat from official information.
Hunting is not permitted. Do not expect road access, trails, toilets, campsites, or services. Any visit would require advanced remote-travel planning, respect for conservation values, and close attention to BC Parks advisories.
