• Please use caution on roads. Watch for potholes and falling rock.

Special Notes:

Management Planning:

The Clearwater River area is located just north of Clearwater, and extends north along the Clearwater River to Mahood Lake along the southwest border of Wells Gray Park. Access via the Clearwater River Road along the western shore of the Clearwater River. From the town of Clearwater, road travels north 37 km to the confluence of the Mahood and Clearwater Rivers.

Any maps listed are for information only - they may not represent legal boundaries and should not be used for navigation.

• Most of the Park's lakes and rivers are glacier-fed and the water is icy-cold year-round.
• Do not underestimate the demands of the backcountry. The hiker must be in good physical condition, properly equipped, and prepared to be totally self-sufficient. Take adequate clothing: high elevation weather is subject to change without notice, and Wells Gray's mountains can receive snow 12 months of the year.
• Known as The Waterfall Park for good reason, streams and rivers have waterfalls of varying sizes -- never boat, canoe, raft or kayak without learning first where the pull-outs are.
• Clearwater River Road (west side of Clearwater River) is subject to slides, flooding and is infrequently maintained.
