Park
Info:
Border Lake Park rests in the Unuk River Valley, on the border
of Alaska, about 180km south of the community of Telegraph
Creek. The occasional river rafter will enjoy the pristine,
wild waters of the Unuk River, flowing through the park and
into Misty Fjords National Monument in Alaska. The highly
productive wetland complex surrounding three small lakes included
in the park offers habitat for a wide range of vegetation,
waterfowl, mammals and fish.

Nature
& Culture:
- History - Designation
of Border Lake as a Class A provincial park followed recommendations
from the Cassiar Iskut-Stikine Land and Resource Management Plan
in 2001.
- Cultural
Heritage - Border Lake
lies within the asserted traditional territory of the Tahltan First
Nation.
- Conservation - The
highly productive lake and wetland complex in Border Lake Park is
rich with conservation values. Plant communities include rare species,
such as the yellow marsh-marigold, while grizzly bears find critical
spring patch habitat in the valuable wetlands. Important fish habitat
is provided to lake spawning sockeye salmon, a provincially significant
sea-run cutthroat trout population, and an unusual anadromous cutthroat
trout.
- Wildlife
(specific to this park or area) - The remote wilderness of Border Lake Park is home to a wide range of wildlife. Grizzly bears rely on spring habitat within the park, while the wetland complex provides excellent waterfowl nesting and forage habitat. Significant resident and migratory fish populations are found in the waters in the park.
