King George VI Provincial Park protects several species
of endangered plants and is home to a variety of wildlife.
Old growth cottonwoods buffer the park from adjacent land
use and offer additional habitat for a variety of cavity
nesting birds, such as barred owls, pileated woodpeckers
and red-naped sapsuckers.
The park was originally established to provide a day-use
rest stop and campground for people entering Canada from
the United States along Hwy 22. The facilities were vandalized
and ultimately removed, and BC Parks has returned it to
its natural state.
