Oregon Jack Park is 25 kilometres southwest of Cache Creek. BC Parks says access is from Trans-Canada Highway 1, 17 kilometres south of Cache Creek, then about 12 kilometres along Hat Creek Road, which bisects the park.
The park protects a limestone canyon and falls known as the Notch on Oregon Jack Creek, plus wetlands above the falls.
Oregon Jack is a wilderness park with strong natural and cultural values. BC Parks says the area is very significant for historic First Nations use and contains rock pictographs, culturally modified trees, and the culturally significant Three Sisters rock shelter.
The landscape includes a waterfall, high limestone cliffs, old-growth Douglas-fir on steep north slopes, wetlands, and aspen stands along Oregon Jack Creek above the Notch. Wildlife values include black bears throughout the park, plus moose and waterfowl in marsh wetlands in the western section. The park was established April 30, 1996 through recommendations from the Kamloops Land and Resources Management Plan.
The steep canyon landscape has limited safe viewing locations.
Travel only if prepared for wilderness conditions, observe the limestone canyon and falls from safe locations, hunt during open seasons, look for wetland habitat, and respect cultural features from a distance.
No camping or day-use facilities are provided. The park has limited ranger patrols and no developed trails, so visitors need route-finding and map-and-compass skills. Treat or filter creek water before drinking. Do not touch pictographs because skin oils can damage pigments.
