Chasm Provincial Park

Back Country Trail
Chasm Provincial Park protects the unique river canyon of the Chasm Creek Valley and part of the Bonaparte River Valley. In 1995, the park was recommended for expansion through the Cariboo Chilcotin Land-Use Plan. It was enlarged from 141 hectares to 3067 hectares to protect more of the area’s colourful geological formations and ponderosa pine forests. The unique features of Chasm Provincial Park offer hiking opportunities and spectacular backdrops for the avid photographer. 2026 Closed due to wildfire. In the interest of public safety, BC Parks has closed this park until further notice. For any further updates please go to bcparks.ca

2026 Wildfires affected? posted on: 09 / 02 / 2026

Hello, Has anyone been by this park recently? I don't live in the area but it was on my bucket list. Just wondering if the fires have taken out all of this park. The Park has been affected by the 2026 Pear Lake wildfire. B.C. Parks have closed it as of July 25, 2026. Go to the B.C. Parks website for any update on Park status.
