Crooked River Provincial Park

 

Gateway to adventure north of Prince George 

 

 

The 963 hectare Crooked River Provincial Park is located 70 kilometres north of Prince George BC Canada on the John Hart Highway (Hwy #97). There are 3 lakes in the park, but non more popular than Bear Lake and its sandy beaches.

 

For those seeking some outdoor adventure the Crooked River Provincial Park can help there too. Some of the outdoor activities include fishing, canoeing, hiking, swimming, windsurfing, beachcombing and camping.

 

The park was once a travel route for our earliest Western Canada explorers like Alexander MacKenzie. The park itself was established in 1965 to protect the lakes and surrounding sub-boreal forests of white spruce, douglas fir and lodgepole pine trees.

 

 

As per reports the best spot for viewing wildlife is on the trail to Square Lake. The combination of forests and wetland make it ideal for beaver, birds and otters. 

 

On the rare occasion one might see a black bear, coyote or fox. There are said to be lynx in the region as well, but they are very elusive. Time your visit in the winter and the park is a staging area for Trumpeter Swans.

 

 

There is a 65 unit campground. Reservations are accepted online at Discover Camping. The campground is treed and private. Services include power, sani dump, showers, and flush toilets. 

 

 

The day use is very well laid out for large motorhomes. On site there are flush toilets, running water, beach picnic tables, play ground and shelter. 

 

For you with dogs please note that they are to be on a leash at all times and are not permitted in the day use area.
