Things To Do
Kleanza Creek Provincial Park is located amongst the forests and rock canyons in the Coast Mountains. Occupying frontage on the Skeena River and on both sides of Kleanza Creek, the park is of historical significance.
Kleanza means gold in the Gitxsan language and it was this metal that influenced the early history of the park site. Placer mining for gold was first carried out in the creek in the late 1890s.
The park occupies over an area of 269 hectares. Operational months are May to September. Camping is permitted. There are picnic areas and pit toilets on the grounds. There is a handpump on the grounds for water.
A 1km easy trail leads to a 24 metre deep box canyon on Kleanza Creek. There are whitewater kayaking opportunities and there is a wildlife viewing area located above Kleanza Canyon. In the interests of protecting the park’s ecology, rock hunting and collecting are not permitted.
This park is located 15km east of Terrace’s Hwy 16 and Hwy 37 junction.
It's a great place to stop and have a picnic and spend some time.
