Peace River Corridor Park | British Columbia

Peace River Corridor Park is 40 kilometres southeast of Fort St. John along the Peace River, 25 kilometres upstream of the Alberta border. BC Parks says road access is by Highway 97 and rural roads.

The park protects islands in Peace River Canyon and scenic grassland habitats along the shoreline.

Why Visit Peace River Corridor Park

Peace River Corridor Park has three distinct areas. The Island Site, along the south shore west of Kiskatinaw Creek, offers fishing, boating, wildlife viewing, camping, and picnicking around Raspberry Island. Wakanaahtaah, meaning "a place to look at," protects hoodoo formations on the north shore west of Alces Creek. Alces River provides a scenic viewpoint and picnic site above the Peace River.

The Peace River is a Provincial Heritage River. The corridor overlaps the traditional use area of Blueberry River and Doig River First Nations and lies within Treaty 8. It also protects waterfowl staging areas, ungulate winter habitat, moose calving islands, raptor nesting habitat, and grassland plant communities.

Road access uses rural roads from Highway 97.

Things To Do

Canoe or kayak, fish for arctic grayling, mountain whitefish, walleye, burbot, bull trout, rainbow trout, kokanee, and northern pike, watch wildlife, picnic, camp where appropriate, ride horseback, hike without developed trails, and hunt during open seasons.

Planning Notes

BC Hydro controls Peace River water levels, which may change without notice, and boaters should watch for gravel bars. Check with BC Hydro before trips. Off-road vehicles are prohibited. Pets must be leashed and kept out of beach areas and buildings.
