Granby Provincial Park

Provincial Park
Granby Provincial Park is a wilderness area popular with hunters, horseback riders and snowmobilers. It is one of the last intact watersheds in the Southern Interior and access is limited. The lower forested drainage of this park includes old-growth stands of cedar and hemlock forest. The lower elevation forests offer hiking and fishing for experienced hikers with good outdoor skills while the grassy meadows at higher elevations offer year round recreational opportunities and form high quality grizzly habitat. An existing communications site access road permits access to the top of Mount Scaia along Galloping Creek. There are no regular ranger patrols within the park.

No. Water from streams and lakes must be treated by boiling, using iodine pills, and filtering.
Horseback riding is permitted. July and August, the best season for wildflower viewing, is a popular time for riding. In the Galloping Hills area, riding is easy with access to the alpine possible in 15-20 minutes of riding. Please stay on existing trails through the Dragon Flats area to minimize impacts on the grassland meadows. In order to meet budget targets, trail maintenance has been reduced on all trails in Granby provincial park.
