Wells Gray Provincial Park

Adventure Starts
Right Outside Your Door

We're inside the boundaries of one of Canada's great wilderness parks. Helmcken Falls. Ancient forests. Rivers no one has named yet. This is your basecamp.

The Park

5,250 km² of Wild

Wells Gray Provincial Park is BC's fourth-largest park — bigger than the entire country of Trinidad and Tobago. It protects old-growth forests, volcanic landscapes, and a river system that's barely been touched.

We're not just near the park — we're inside it. That means no drive to the gate. Just wake up, walk out, and start exploring.

BC's Waterfall Province

The Falls

Wells Gray is nicknamed "BC's Waterfall Province" — and once you see Helmcken Falls for the first time, you'll understand why they say that.

Helmcken Falls

35 min from resort

One of Canada's highest waterfalls, plunging 141 metres into a mist-filled canyon. A 15-minute walk from the parking area — and a view you'll remember for the rest of your life.

Spahats Falls

10 min from resort

A dramatic orange-red canyon carved by the creek over millennia. The falls are visible from a viewpoint right at the edge — no hike required, just your breath.

Moul Falls

45 min from resort

A longer hike (6km return) but the reward is swimming in the pool at the base of the falls. Bring lunch. You'll want to stay all afternoon.

Dawson Falls

30 min from resort

A wide, gentle cascade across the full width of the Clearwater River — sometimes called "Little Niagara." An easy stroll from the parking area.

Ask at the front desk for a park map and personalized recommendations. We know which trails are best right now.

Guided Adventures

Go Further

Want to go beyond the resort? Local guides offer a range of adventures — we can help you book with our trusted partners.

Whitewater Rafting

The Clearwater and Thompson Rivers offer class II–IV rapids depending on season. Half-day and full-day trips available through local outfitters.

Horseback Riding

Trail rides through the forest and meadows with local guides. Beginner-friendly. A completely different way to see the land.

Kayaking & Canoeing

Clearwater Lake and the river system are perfect for paddling. Rentals available locally, guided tours with Clearwater Lake Tours.

Wildlife Viewing

Wells Gray is home to moose, black bear, wolverine, osprey, and the rare mountain caribou. Early mornings are best — the meadows along the park road are a reliable starting point.

The Slow Moments

Not every adventure needs a trail map. Watching the sunrise filter through the trees. Skipping stones in the creek with your kids. Sitting around the fire until everyone's too tired to talk anymore.

These are the moments that stick. The ones you'll talk about on the drive home, and again next summer.

Make this your basecamp.
