Liard River West Corridor Park is in northeastern British Columbia, adjacent to Liard River Hot Springs Park on the Alaska Highway. BC Parks places it along the northernmost progression of the Northern Rocky Mountains.
The corridor includes Liard River valley landscapes, uplands, and access toward the Grand Canyon of the Liard.
Liard River West Corridor Park is a remote corridor for river, horse, foot, and ATV travel. BC Parks describes high upland plateau, muskeg, river-bottom old-growth spruce forest, the Grand Canyon rapids, and wildlife including moose, grizzly bear, Rocky Mountain elk, and northern long-eared bats.
The recreation list is broad: fishing, hiking, camping, horseback riding, canoeing, river boating, wildlife viewing, hunting, ATV use, and photography. There are no developed trails. One motorized route provides access to the north side of the Liard River Corridor, while the old BC Hydro road on the south side crosses Trout River toward the Grand Canyon and can be hazardous.
River access is via the Liard River, and some boaters travel the Toad River to reach the park. The Grand Canyon is a 30-kilometre stretch of dangerous rapids and high visual quality.
Plan around remote camping, ATV access where allowed, horseback travel, river boating, no-trail hiking, fishing, hunting in season, wildlife viewing, Toad River route research, and canyon photography.
Bring drinking water. Check advisories before travel. Grand Canyon river travel includes Class IV and higher rapids and is recommended only for experienced paddlers.
