glacier topped Mt. Rohr.
It is a popular spot for canoeing, kayaking and wildlife
viewing. Use caution, as the wind can be strong

Nature
& Culture:
- Heritage Culture - The
Duffey Lake/Cayoosh Creek Valley was historically used as a travel
route between the Lillooet First Nations on Lillooet Lake and the
Stl’alt’imx First Nation on the Fraser River. The area was important for hunting, trapping and gathering.
- Conservation - The
main conservation role of Duffey Lake Provincial Park is to protect
a representative portion of the Leeward Pacific Ranges ecosection

and bears. The Duffey Lake area contains some of the flora, fauna,
landforms and waters which are characteristic of the region, and illustrates
transitional vegetation between coastal and interior climates.
- Wildlife - Mountain goat, grizzly bear, deer, black bear, osprey and great blue heron can all be found in the park.
