Prophet River Wayside Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. It is located along the Prophet River, by the Alaska Highway, between the localities of Trutch and Prophet River. Originally created as a Provincial Recreation Area in 1977 with an area of 707 acres (2.86 km2), it was designated a provincial park in 1999 with an area of 111 hectares.[1]

As of June 4, 2007, there are no services or facilities at this park because of safety reasons. BC Parks recommends that travellers on the Alaska Highway use Buckinghorse River Wayside Provincial Park, 60 km south, or Andy Bailey Regional Park, 70 km north, instead.[2]
