About Chase Provincial Park

 

Chase Provincial Park is located in the southern interior of British Columbia, Canada, and encompasses a remote area of mountainous terrain, dense forests, and alpine meadows. The park is situated near the town of Chase and covers a significant expanse of natural habitat mostly dominated by subalpine and montane ecosystems. The park's geography includes steep ridges, pristine streams, and expansive views of the surrounding Monashee Mountains. It provides important habitat for a variety of wildlife including mule deer, black bears, mountain goats, and numerous bird species. Established to protect the area's ecological integrity and maintain its natural values, the park receives relatively low visitor numbers due to limited road access and developed facilities, making it ideal for visitors seeking solitude and authentic wilderness experiences. Recreational opportunities in Chase Provincial Park primarily focus on backcountry hiking, wildlife viewing, and nature photography. The park’s trails provide access to alpine meadows and ridge lines that offer panoramic vistas. Camping is generally backcountry-style, with no formal campgrounds or visitor centers, so preparedness is essential. The landscape’s variability and presence of wetlands also offer unique ecosystems to explore, including areas of rare plants and critical seasonal wildlife habitats. Chase Provincial Park's remote setting and unspoiled nature attract those interested in off-the-beaten-path exploration and outdoor adventure in one of British Columbia’s lesser-known protected areas.
