Park Info
Upper Lillooet Provincial Park was established on July 28, 1997, and is composed of valley bottom old-growth forests, wetland habitat, high alpine ridges and glaciers.
This is a remote backcountry area with no developed trails or any other facilities, so access is limited.
This park is a great destination for those seeking to experience the remote wilderness through backcountry hiking and wilderness camping.
The park is located approximately 150 km northwest of Vancouver or
60 km northwest of Pemberton at the headwaters of the Lillooet River.
To reach Upper Lillooet Provincial Park, visitors drive to Pemberton
and then along the Upper Lillooet forest service road on the north
side of the Lillooet River, approximately 70 km to the boundary of
the park. The road ends just outside the park boundary. Rough logging
roads extend up Meager Creek towards the south end, but not into, the
park. Helicopter access has been moderately popula,r mostly for accessing
base camp areas in the alpine portions of the park.
