Welcome to Wells Gray Country, the wild heart of British Columbia!

This site will provide you with everything you need to plan your visit to Wells Gray Country: centered on the rural communities of Clearwater, Vavenby and Birch Island and the vast wilderness preserve of Wells Gray Provincial Park, our area offers an enticing combination of exciting year-round outdoor activities and fabulous natural scenery!

Here you'll get a glimpse of the stunning vistas of high mountains, deep canyons, fresh volcanic cones, brooding old-growth forests and raging whitewater rivers which await you.

We'll describe the landscapes, forests, wildlife and human heritage of Wells Gray, often known as ‘The Waterfall Park’, which echoes to the sound of countless impressive cascades, torrents and rapids - including world-famous Helmcken Falls, nearly four times the height of Niagara.

There are details of the excellent opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts in both summer and winter, who come to paddle the big lakes and wild rivers, to hike serene forest trails, flower-filled meadows and alpine ice-caps, to fish for trophy trout and salmon, for the outstanding ski-touring and snowmobiling, and for just about anything else one could wish for

Of course, there's also information about the welcome awaiting you in our comfortable hotels, motels, lodges, resorts, ranches, B&Bs, cabins and campgrounds; there’s something here to suit everyone

We look forward to meeting you!
