Park
Info:
Created
through the efforts of the Robson Valley Land and Resource Management
Plan and the Protected Areas Strategy, Small River Caves Provincial
Park protects a provincially important karst/ cave system.
Located on the west side of the Small River drainage, high above
the valley bottom, this cave complex is remote and difficult
to access. It is considered to be a very dangerous cave system
that should only be attempted by highly experienced cavers.
This 1,818 hectare park lies at the transition zone between
Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir (ESSFmm1) and the Alpine Tundra
(AT) biogeoclimatic
zones. The Small River logging road accesses the drainage
but one must be aware of logging truck traffic at all times.
In order to properly protect this fragile ecosystem, we require
that all cavers get permission from BC Parks at: 4051 - 18th
Avenue
Prince George BC V2N 1B3
