Part of the southwest quarter of District Lot 1413, north of the Kitwanga River, Cassiar District. Sub-area: Kitwanga, Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine.
The property is located north of the Kitwanga River near the village of Kitwanga. There is currently no road access to the parcel. Kitwanga is situated 4 km north of the junction of Highway 16 and Highway 37 (Stewart-Cassiar Highway).
Kitwanga, also known as Gitwangak, is located near Gitwangak Battle Hill National Historic Site, formerly known as Kitwanga Fort. The area is known for its Gitxsan history, the historic village site, and nearby totem poles at Gitwangak Village. The iconic 1893 St Paul’s Anglican Church and Bell Tower are additional local landmarks.
The community has a population of approximately 480 and includes a community hall, post office, general store, restaurant, recreation complex, ballfield, RV park, trail system, ambulance station, and two churches. Primary employers include Kitwanga Forest Products, Kitwanga Elementary School, and Meek Logging Limited.
Terrace, a significant supply and service centre, is approximately 99 km to the west. Prince George, the largest hub city in northern BC and often referred to as the province’s “Northern Capital,” is situated roughly 485 km to the east at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako rivers. Scheduled air service is available through Terrace and Smithers.
Multiple mountain goat herds reside within the park and frequent the peaks and ridges during summer, wintering in forests near Oliver Creek and Hells Bells Creek. Grizzly and black bears, raptors, and other birds frequent the entire Protected Area. Moose, mule deer, coyotes, and wolves use the park around natural openings, burned areas, and old logging cut blocks. Salmon pass through the lower reaches of creeks, and trout inhabit most lakes and streams.
This park offers outstanding wildlife-viewing opportunities across various habitats, including grizzly bear habitat in the subalpine and excellent moose habitat at lower elevations. The mountaintop sits above the treeline in a perfectly natural state, rewarding hikers with panoramic views of the Seven Sisters Peaks and the Skeena Valley.
The Skeena River is one of BC’s major river systems and is renowned for salmon and steelhead fishing, with five species of salmon present. The Skeena is recognized as the province’s second-largest sockeye producer after the Fraser. The Kermode bear (Spirit Bear) inhabits the Skeena Valley from Prince Rupert to Hazelton, alongside black, brown, and grizzly bears.
Riparian vegetation along the Kitwanga River corridor appears to include deciduous species such as cottonwood, alder, and willow, with mixed coniferous and deciduous timber through the upland areas. The river bottomlands provide lush, productive habitat for wildlife and waterfowl.
The Kitwanga River and surrounding Skeena region are known for fishing, with salmon and steelhead opportunities in the broader area. The surrounding region offers exceptional big game hunting, including moose, deer, bear, and upland birds. Nearby provincial parks provide outstanding hiking, snowmobiling, backcountry camping, and wildlife viewing.
Seven Sisters Provincial Park and Protected Area offer a wide variety of recreational activities. Several trails run from Highway 16, including Oliver Creek Trail, Watson Lakes Trail, Hell’s Bells Trail, Cedarvale Trail, Whiskey Creek Trail, and Coyote Creek Trail—ranging from family-friendly lakeside walks to challenging backcountry mountain routes.
The Kitwanga Mountain Provincial Park, above the treeline and in a perfectly natural state, rewards hikers with commanding views of the Seven Sisters Peaks and the Skeena Valley. Wilderness, backcountry, and alpine camping are permitted. The Skeena River itself offers excellent fishing, boating, floating, and paddling throughout the valley.
Historically, Kitwanga or Gitwangak (“people of the place of rabbits” in the Gitxsan language) was a major trade centre for northwest First Nations cultures and the settlers who pioneered the Kitwanga Valley. The culture and history of Gitwangak are on display at Gitwangak Battle Hill National Historic Site, and the surrounding area is home to up to 50 totem poles.
The Seven Sisters Mountain range area has stimulated mineral exploration interest since the late 1920s, with discoveries of gold, silver, lead, and zinc in the Oliver Creek headwaters. Exploration continued from 1968 to 1983, though no economically viable mineral occurrences were found. Kitwanga Mountain Provincial Park was established in 1997.
The Skeena River has been a vital transportation artery since ancient times, particularly for the Tsimshian and the Gitxsan—whose names mean “inside the Skeena River” and “people of the Skeena River,” respectively. The river and its basin continue to sustain fish, wildlife, vegetation, and communities throughout the region.
South borders the Kitwanga River.
