Introducing Wells Gray Provincial Park
Wells Gray Park is known as the Waterfall Park,
and a large wilderness park in British Columbia
(the fourth highest falls in Canada).
It offers both unlimited wilderness, and easily accessible waterfalls,
wildflower trails, ski trails and lakes for canoeing.
Spahats Falls is a mere 10 minute drive on the way to Wells Gray
where you will see Majestic Helmcken Falls (pictured here)
480 feet high. Dawson Falls is a cascade of Water across
the Murtle River as it rushes to join the Clearwater just after
it drops over the Helmcken precipice.
Location
Wells Gray is located north of highway 5 between Jasper and
Kamloops, near the town of Clearwater.
Most visitors enter the park via Clearwater, where there is an
excellent information center for the park.
Two other access roads enter the park: from the town of Blue River
west to Murtle Lake, and from the town of 100 Mile House east to
Mahood Lake.
