Flora and fauna

British Columbia's ecosystem is divided into different biogeoclimatic zones using the Biogeoclimatic Ecological Classification (BEC) Zoning System . These biogeoclimatic zones are characterized by a fundamentally identical or very similar climate and the same or very similar biological and geological conditions. This results in a very similar population of plants and animals in the respective zones. Within the British Columbia ecosystem, the park area is assigned to the Dry Warm Subzone of the Interior Cedar-Hemlock Zone (ICHdw).

The park has a campsite with 33 spaces for tents and campers, as well as simple sanitary facilities.
