The Purcell Wilderness Conservancy Provincial Park is one of the largest intact ecosystems remaining in South Eastern BC and some of the most spectacular scenery in British Columbia. An incredible setting to revel in truly unspoiled landscape. The Purcell Wilderness is the first large scale wilderness protected by citizen action anywhere in Canada. In 1974, 25,000 acres were set aside as a Wilderness Conservancy. In 1995, the area was enlarged to more than 500,000 acres and reclassified as a Provincial Park. The Conservancy is now the largest protected wilderness in Southern BC. From rainforests to staggering Douglas Fir forests. Grassy meadows for viewing a variety of wildlife: moose, elk and pileated woodpeckers through to surreal glaciers creating the mighty Dutch Creek. Pristine lakes, flowing grasslands and alpine wildflower meadows tempt you – the adventurous trekker - for a day of exploration.
