Moose Valley Park is about 31 kilometres west of 100 Mile House, reached by Exeter Station Road, the 1100 Road, and a one-lane road to Marks Lake. BC Parks says four-wheel-drive, high-clearance vehicles are recommended.
The park covers 2,322 hectares of rolling landscape with lakes and wetlands, including a chain of 12 small lakes.
Moose Valley is a paddling and wetland destination in the Cariboo. The canoe chain is the main recreational feature, and both day and overnight trips are popular. BC Parks describes clear, shallow lakes, abundant aquatic plants and flowers, reed-fringed islands, marshes, and access to wetlands and sphagnum bogs by canoe.
Camping areas are available at either end of the canoe route, while the only developed sites are at the main access point at Marks Lake and at the north end of Maitland Lake. Wildlife habitat supports deer, moose, waterfowl, amphibians, muskrat, beaver, loons, grebes, sandhill cranes, owls, hawks, grouse, and songbirds.
Canoe or kayak the lake chain, camp at rustic sites, hike the rough road toward Maitland Lake, swim without lifeguards, watch birds and wildlife, hunt during open seasons, snowshoe or cross-country ski in winter, and photograph wetland plants.
Access roads can become slippery after rain, and the 1100 Road is not maintained in winter. Drive cautiously after rain. Floating peat bogs are sensitive during low water, so do not push canoes through restricted or shallow sections. Expect no set winter tracks and carry self-sufficient backcountry supplies.
