Get away from it all at this remote park near Hope.
In the Skagit Valley wilderness near the US border, Skagit Valley Provincial Park has three campgrounds spread out along a river and lake system. More than 50 kilometres of Fraser Valley hiking trails wind through lush temperate rainforests and up mountains, revealing incredible views of the park and into North Cascades National Park in Washington state. In addition to hiking opportunities, visitors can enjoy river and lake fishing, as well as horseback riding on 30 kilometres of horse trails. The year-round park, its 131 vehicle-accessible campsites, and six wilderness campsites can remain cool even during the summer months.
Skagit Valley Provincial Park is busiest during the summer months of July, August, and into September. Late spring may see snow on the ground and an increase in the mosquito population. This is an active wilderness area, so it may also be common to see bears and other wildlife between spring and fall. The Skagit River and Ross Lake may experience high water levels during the spring and summer run-off season. In winter, the main campground is closed but wilderness camping is permitted, subject to weather and access.
