Denetiah Provincial Park and Protected Area is a provincial park and protected area located in the northern interior of British Columbia, Canada. It was established on June 29, 1999, to protect a large area of pristine wilderness at the headwaters of the Denetiah and Dahl Rivers.[2] The park can be accessed via boat, helicopter, or by hiking or horseback through the Davie Trail.[3]

There are no designated, maintained roads that enter the park.[4]

Geography

[edit]

Denetiah Provincial Park is composed of a 97,908 hectare Class A Park unit and a 7,441 hectare protected area unit.[2] The provincial park is part of the larger Muskwa-Kechika Management Area, which aims to coordinate the management of Denetiah Provincial Park with 14 other provincial parks and protected areas in the region.[5]

The park protects Dall and Denetiah Lakes, which are long, thin, and glacially-carved. On top of this, the headwaters to the Denetiah and Dall Rivers are also located inside of the park.[6]
