Nature
& Culture:
- History - Established
April 30, 1996 as a result of recommendations made in the Kamloops
Land and Resource Management Plan. The park will be managed according
to the Interim Management Direction Statement for Caligata Lake
Park.
- Conservation - This park protects a small cirque basin with avalanche tracks, rich wetlands, true bogs, fens, high floristic diversity and rare lichens. Old-growth Englemann spruce, subalpine fir, rare lichen species and many species of wildflowers exist in the area. Situated at the base of the steep, north-facing slope of Raft Mountain, the combination of aspect, deep snows, and cold air drainage creates unique conditions and favours plant communities that normally occur 500 meters higher. Flowers, trees and shrubs are part of the park's natural heritage, please don't damage or remove them.
- Wildlife - Habitat for mountain caribou, wolf, black and grizzly bear.Wildlife is potentially dangerous and may be encountered at any time. Never approach or feed bears or any wild animal. Make lots of noise when hiking where signs of bear are found.
