Northern Rocky Mountains Park is about 90 kilometres southwest of Fort Nelson, with the Alaska Highway running along a northern portion of the park. BC Parks says it is the largest park in the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area and the third largest provincial park in British Columbia.
The park includes part of the Wokkpash Valley-MacDonald Creek Loop Trail.
Northern Rocky Mountains Park is a vast northeastern wilderness for experienced backcountry travellers. It borders Stone Mountain Park and Kwadacha Wilderness Park, helping protect a large contiguous mountain landscape.
Old-growth white spruce forests occur along major river valley bottoms.
Access is mainly by riverboat, aircraft, hiking, or horseback. Recreation is mostly summer and autumn, and the rest of the year the area is virtually uninhabited. Activities include scenery and wildlife viewing, angling, boating, hunting, camping, hiking, horseback riding, mountaineering, nature photography, and experienced wilderness paddling on rivers such as the Tuchodi and Muskwa. Primitive campsites occur along major river courses, and many trails were established by guide outfitters but are not well maintained.
Hike the Wokkpash route, paddle only with advanced planning, fish for lake trout, rainbow trout, bull trout, arctic grayling, and lake whitefish, watch for black bear, grizzly bear, elk, caribou, goat, Stone's sheep, wolf, and deer, and ride horseback if prepared.
Grizzly and black bears may be encountered. Alpine and subalpine areas are fragile. Snowmobiling is permitted only in designated Nature Recreation Zone areas, and winter users need avalanche knowledge. Bring maps, communications, route plans, and wilderness-level supplies.
