WELLS GRAY

TRAIL UPDATES AND CAMPING OPPORTUNITIES

BC Parks offers five fully serviced, reservable, vehicle accessible campgrounds in and around Wells Gray. The first is located at North Thompson River Provincial Park; it is a popular campground to stay if you want to be close to the amenities that Clearwater has to offer.

If you prefer to be in the heart of the park, there are four campgrounds in Wells Gray Provincial Park: Pyramid (68 sites), 45 km from the Wells Gray Information Center; Falls Creek (41 sites) and Clearwater Lake (39 sites), 67.9 km from the Info Center; and Mahood Lake (39 sites).

Wells Gray has something to offer for every outdoor interest: lush alpine meadows, excellent birding and wildlife viewing opportunities; hiking for every ability, ranging from a few minutes on a level trail to many days with a map and compass; boating, canoeing and kayaking. Guiding businesses offer horseback riding, canoeing, river-rafting, fishing and hiking; and the history enthusiast can learn about the early homesteaders, trappers, and prospectors.

Wells Gray Corridor Area (includes Pyramid and Clearwater Lake/Falls Creek campgrounds): Vehicle-accessible campgrounds, short hiking trails and spectacular views along the main road from the park entrance to Clearwater Lake. For your convenience, during the summer season this area of the park has a concession managed by the Park Facility Operator.

Trophy Mountain: Approximately 6900 hectares contains over 45 sub-alpine lakes and tarns and offers opportunities for hiking, back-country overnight and day trips.

Backcountry Areas: Information on some of the longer hiking trails, offering visitors the opportunity to camp in user-maintained wilderness settings. Clearwater River: An area of limited access along the Clearwater River offering hiking, fishing, wilderness camping and spectacular scenery.
